Bath Time Question

[pinkmac85]

At what age did your LOs start enjoying bath time? LeeAnne is 2 weeks old and she still has her cord attached so we are still just doing a sponge bath and she screams bloody murder! I fear she wont ever like bath time!!

It was later than 2 weeks, don't know when exactly though. She should start enjoying it more when she becomes more aware, also I found that Hannah enjoyed her bath baths better than sponge baths

I would just put her in a tub, the cord will be fine... Submerging her more in the water will keep her warmer. Although Jasmine took a month or so before she was better. But at about a month I started having baths with her and she enjoyed that.

Really?! everyone keeps telling me they need to be kept dry at all times!

About 4 weeks. I've always had her in the bath with me though.

You can get bathtubs with a sling..so their bums and stuff are in water but the cord doesn't get wet. Renah liked that a LOT better

I bathed Helena with her cord. My nurse gave her the first bath and she submerged her and said I could too. Never had a problem. Just patted it dry.

Theres never any concern about bathing with the cord stump still attached here. Sam doesnt like his own bath at all, though he loves bathing with me.

I didnt submerge Aiden in the tub, just bird baths basically, he's a month now and yesterday was the first day that he didnt scream like someone was poking him.. Although today he screamed, I think its due to the heat, yesterday I made the house extra warm and he cooed and everything, today it was on normal and he didnt like it.. lol

i bathed maddi with her cord too, just dried it well afterwards i think it took maddi a couple of attempts to like the bath, she's a real water baby though! x

We bathed with cord think it was off before 2 weeks. She was bathed fully in hospital, which she hated. Didnt take long until she loved them, she lies there relaxing now kicking her legs about and only screams when she comes out. She also loves baths with me.

Chloe was 4-6 weeks I think, she had her first full bath at 11 hours old and was fully submerged- in hospital by the nurse

I had the same tub! Loved it.

Chase started liking his bath by around 3 weeks of age.
