If you have to keep the water usage down, i would suggest bringing baby into the shower with you. I have done that a few times and my daughter seems to like it. I started doing it when she wasnt so floppy. She does get a bit slippery because she wiggles, but that sock idea sounds good (might try it, thanks Annie!) I also used a baby bath, but she has now outgrown it so i'm not using it anymore. I did use the baby bath in the big bath and I sat in the big bath and put water in the baby bath but found it hard as we have a skinny bath and I couldnt get comfy enough.
