Bathing infant twins question

[persa]

What did y'all do for bathing the bigger infants, like when they started to get too big for the baby bathtub?

My almost 7 month olds are getting a little big for their infant bathtub (the 4moms one) but also I'd like to start bathing them together. they aren't quite stable enough on their own to sit in the tub and I obviously can't keep a hand on both of them.

The one solution I can see is one of those bath ring seats for each of them but they're upwards of $33 each on amazon.

I got the bath seats for free from another mom and hated them. I just felt like they were more of a pain. Mine are almost 9 mos. I have that inflatable duck from target and they love it. I could fit both if needed but I don't like to (and my kids are small). I'd just wait to bath together until they can sit up on their own and then do a laundry basket. I prefer bathing separate for now but that's what I would use if I wanted to do together.

We put them in a laundry basket together in the tub. We set their bath sponge in there so it was soft and they did great.

Ditto to the laundry basket, before they were very stable the held on to the sides to keep themselves upright.

Big sister has been our bath chair this week our boy twin looks rediculously big in the baby tub we have. But I still do them individually. And on alternating nights.

I remember looking into bath rings, but never did get any. I just continued to bathe them individually until they could sit well alone.

Yup, laundry basket. This way they were contained and I could also have my 2yo in with them. Worked great.

Thanks y'all, I started doing the laundry basket and it's been fine. I'd still like the bath chairs, I just don't want to drop $35 each on them so the basket will suffice for now

I so wish I had known about the laundry basket thing! When they were that age, I just did them one at a time. It took forever because I was doing three baths each day, because they had an older sibling.
