[quote=Anonymous]I used a baby bath until DS was 8 weeks old and a pediatric nurse showed me how to give him a bath in the real tub. She recommended using the real tub ASAP because 1) water stays warmer longer in the real tub 2) baby wouldn't have to adjust to tub at a later point and 3) I never needed to have a baby tub when traveling. Until DS could sit up on his own, I placed a hand towel in the bottom of the tub on top of a non-skid mat once water was in the tub (enough to cover his thighs). I used a regular washcloth that was wet to place over DS' chest to keep him warm. I would lean him back with his neck resting in between my thumb and middle finger for support and wash him with a baby washcloth. Now that he can sit up, I have adjusted how he sits in the tub and give support more in the front on this chest than on his neck and still lean him back for hair washing.[/quote]
