2+ mums, both in the bath?

[Deleted]

Do your kids bath together?
Finally in our new place we have a bathtub so we can chuck them both in. I'm loving it. DS1 used to shower and DS2 used the baby tub on the kitchen counter but now the process is all streamlined.

Do you have a pic of them to post? Don't they look funny in there together.

Here's mine's first bath together

[TrudyCampbell]

Adorable!

[charlielove]

Awwww!! They look adorable together.
I think I am going to start this, I can't wait! DD1 loves to take showers, but I think if she knew she got to take a bath with her sister she'd be all for it. It will be so nice to condense the bed time routine and get two done at once!

[greenkitty98]

Cute! I don't think I have a picture of them both together. I'm usually doing bath time by myself, and DD moves around so much that she slips, so I have to keep a hand on her the whole time.

Most of the time, DD showers with me and DS either has baths by himself or showers with DH, but we have done several baths together.

[thedahliharpa]

No. The bath is a trigger for H. She gets a good deal of tantruming out during hair washing.

The pic is so cute!

I don't have pictures handy, but we've had them in the bath together for a few months. So easy.

Oh and PC I wanted to report we've had them sharing a room since we moved 2 weeks ago and it hasn't been as bad as I thought. Sometimes they wake each other up in the morning so we throw in the towel and start the day. But usually I can get DS2 out of there before he wakes up DS1.. and it's always DS2 the culprit. Your situation is still working? How's the move planning? Are you still looking to relocate?

I started this out of necessity since my Dh travels quite a bit and otherwise they would have not both gotten a bath during the nightly bedtime chaos.

Yep! They always get bathed or showered together now. Either both in the bath like you do, or all three of us in the shower. It is an enclosed upright shower and DD will slide towards the center and eventually her butt covers the drain and the water starts pooling. Pretty hilarious. She has never minded getting the water on her head though.

[erniebufflo]

We do.

Baby bathplug!!! ;D

Sorry, baby bath/showerplug :Y:

[biblionerd]

We haven't. Linus is CRAZY in the bath. He's still in the "baby tub" even though it's plenty big for his ginormous self. If he's not he turns into a crazy person, and he's not old enough to understand not to drown his sister. I'm thinking about getting a bath ring so she'll be supported and he'd be more confined to 1/2 of the tub. So maybe he would stay calmer if he can't throw himself around the whole tub.

I've put them in the bath a couple times, but Kate was still in her whale wash. She's a lot more sturdy now, so I'll probably try in the near future.

[rainbowchip]

I've been thinking about trying it sometime soon. Right now, dh refuses to give Lyla a bath until she his one. I have no idea why (he was like that with Dylan too). So I give Lyla a bath and he gives Dylan a shower. It works out pretty good that way. And since I still put Lyla in the baby tub, I don't have to clean the bathtub as often.

[rjamz]

So cute!

[ashleydl83]

This was obviously years ago, but yes, baths together were awesome. It saved so much time!

[Deleted]

Mine do take baths together occasionally - but lately DD thinks it is funny to push DS - so it is becoming a dangerous adventure b/c pushing in the tub doesn't end well.
I have to see if I have a pic available at work...

[EnchantedSoul]

My boys bathe together occassionally. DS1 likes to shower so Chubbs usually gets a bath in the big tub by himself. He really likes playing in there. I have no pics to share.

[dixeedeluxe]

yeah man and they LOVE IT! sometimes edie splashes a little too much, but adeline loves the splashing. edie just isn't allowed to splash outside the tub. we have to do "little splashes".

also, she sometimes tries to dump water on adeline's head because that's what i do. so i say "only her feet" and she complies. it's fun.

[musiclover]

Yep, they love it. Adam actually asks to join in on Nolan's baths. It is quicker for me too, yay!!!

we tell Jameson to dump it on her head, lol. He helps wash her all up. I think sometimes he believes he is a co-parent with us.

When DH is not home, they bathe together and when he is, they don't. I put more and warmer water in for DD #1, so she gets pretty frustrated when she has to bathe with DD#2.

[charlielove]

Ah, PC how cute! Did they like being in the bath together? I want to try, but am wondering if Claire would be pissed about sitting in only a few inches of water.

I had to resurrect this thread so I can AW

Cuties.

[Deleted]

That is awesome PC! I'm glad you resurrected They are starting to look really alike, imo.

We have the bath pretty deep, I'd say up to DS2 baby nipples..? but DH is always right there holding onto his thigh. Don't ask me why he holds that but it seems to work.

[charlielove]

I'm LOLing that he holds his thigh!? Men. Haha I always have a hand on her shoulder/arm, so I guess the water level could be a bit higher.

[devotchka]

These pics are SO CUTE!!! AW, NOW I WANT ANOTHER BABY

[rxbeth]

OMG, all these pictures are ADORABLE. Seriously. Beautiful kids.
