Bath with baby?
Hi girls
My little boy is just over 5 weeks old and really doesn't like his bath. It's a supported one and even when it's filled up it only comes up to his waist. I think he might enjoy more of his bathtime if his whole body is submerged. At the moment he cries as if he's cold!! I was wondering whether I could get in our bath with him? I think it would be easier for me to be in the bath too so I can fully support him without fear of losing my grip! Are there any hygiene issues with sharing a bath? Is there a specific age that you should wait until before trying this?
I suppose I could always but an alternative baby bath - but trying to save money!!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I would think as long as the umbilical cord has fallen off it would be fine, and you didnt add any bath foam etc...
We don't often take baths with lo as he loves to splash and walk around in them but I still do occasionally. His dad's a bit funny about it lol
I also didn't used to add any sort of bath products to the water.
Go for it, you will both enjoy it. xx

Keep doing it -it's lovely!
I loved sharing a bath with Kade, think I'm more upset he prefers the bath to himself now
