Mommy FTW

Back in November when Cameron was just turning a year old we went out to Chicago to visit my husband’s family, and I was NOT going to pack a bath seat for the trip.  So, we started getting Cameron used to taking a bath in the tub without his Dream Baby Bath Seat.  At first, someone sat in the tub with him, and then after a few days he was sitting alone in the tub.  He seemed a little insecure at the beginning, but now he loves being in the tub by himself.

I still use his infant bath seat in the beginning of bath time because it makes it easier for me to wash him, but when we move to play time, I release him into the tub.  We have a rule, which another mom suggested to me, that once he stands up, bath time is over.  He quickly learned that this is how he should signal that he is ready for bed.

I’m aware having a baby in the bath tub isn’t revolutionary, but I know a lot of moms who are nervous about taking their little ones out of their seats and letting them be in the tub without bumpers or restraints.  So, I wanted to write this little post to give you the confidence to try it out!  Your baby just might love it.
