July 1, 2001 - Getting Creative with Bath Time

Giving babies baths can be something of a pain. The adult has to practically break their back leaning over the tub, control the wriggling and slippery baby, AND make sure that all the nooks and crannies get their proper cleaning. When Erin was a baby, we found a great solution for all of this when we visited my parents' house: we bathed her in the kitchen sink! No bending, it was the perfect size, and except for the stainless steel sink and counter being a little chilly sometimes, she seemed to really enjoy it. We just had to make sure to grab the shampoo instead of the lemon juice bottle.
