Family Forum / Parenting / Parenting / February 200611 month old won't sit up in baby tub
Hi. Our son will not sit up in his baby bathtub and he has outgrown it. Should we try a bath ring? a larger tub? Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks. > Hi.

By that age I was using the regular bath tub for all the kids. No special equipment (except for toys, of course). Marie my son did the same thing they have seats for tubs i got one and it works wonders within a couple of weeks he sits up on his own in tub and out. > my son did the same thing they have seats for tubs i got one and it > works wonders within a couple of weeks he sits up on his own in tub and > out. After Jessica was sitting at about 5 months old, I bathed her in the kitchen sink until she was about a year. Saved my back for sure. JennP. > Hi.

By this age, I was bathing the kids in the regular bathtub. I never used a bath ring. I didn't put much water in, so if they didn't want to sit up, it was no big deal. If your back or knees won't take it, you can climb into the bathtub WITH the baby. I didn't care to do it that way, but lots of folks do that, too. Alternatively, you can always give a baby a bath in the kitchen sink. You'll want to clean it well, both before and after, but I remember doing that with my baby brother.

He and I have been bathing together ever since. Once I am satisfied he won't slip, he will share a bath with his big brother.

Thanks. I put Hunter in the regular tub with no extra stuff. Luke mostly used the bath ring at that age. He moved around more, plus they bathed together. You can also bath with him.

SignatureSue (mom to three girls) Move to a normal bath and use a rubber suction mat in the bottom so he is less likely to slide over.

I believe an 11 month old would love to be able to play in the water. At 9 months, my son now crawls and splashed in the tub. He loves bath time and has a blast playing with the water and his toys. Just teach him not to stand up, but let him play. If you're right there, as any parent should be, he'll be safe and will have a great time. > Move to a normal bath and use a rubber suction mat in the bottom so he is > less likely to slide over. > >> Hi.
