baby baths

[mgm]

We didn't have a laundry trough or any sink big enough, and our bath was very deep and huge. We bought a combined bath/change table (bath sits under the table, which lifts up on a hinge) and it was fantastic. Filling it and draining it were a bit of a pain because there wasn't enough room to keep it in the bathroom, but even so, having the bath and change table at that level meant no awkward bending over. I think I used the bath til DS was about 10 months - he was much too big too lie down in it and had to sit up, but that was fine and used a lot less water than filling a huge bath.

Luey - we purchased the Roger Armstrong Laguna Bath from Baby Bunting. The house we were in only had a shower. Originally we just used a standard baby bath for DS but it was so difficult filling it and empting it and DS outgrew it quickly. He is really active in the bath and would try to 'swim' from one end to the other and smash his head. The Laguna bath was bigger and more of an oval shape, rather than square. The best part was it had a plug hole so i just to put it over the kitchen sink, so no leaning over to bath bubs and super easy to empty.

We are now in a house with a bath and i just put a little bit of water in the bath and lay DS in it and he goes nuts kicking and splashing.

I think the Laguna bath was about $60-ish - but definately worth it.
