Bath Time Question
I feel like a fool asking this.
Our bath isn't working out well. Since birth I have been getting in the full tub with Abe and just bathing him that way. I can manipulate him easily and get in all the folds and creases. I feel like the little plastic tub didn't work well because he wasnt' submerged enough in the water and would get cold. And I can't figure out a good way to wash his hair in that. And I can't figure out how to clean his butt either. So I end up manhandling him.
Well. I don't want to get in the tub anymore. It is such a process.
I was thinking about getting a sling/lounge chair thing like this:

Once he can sit up on his own I think it will be easier.
Thoughts?
Re: Bath Time Question
We have one of these for Felix and he loves it! He just lays and lounges in the bath.

Our tub came with one of those and it works well for us. The only issue we have is Delia's wiggling, she really likes bathtime and tends to gradually slide down the sling.
Also she is still exposed to the air on her arms and belly, so while I wash her hair I drape a big wash cloth or even a cheap/thin receiving blanket dipped in warm water over her. That seems to help ward off the shivers...
