   we just have a plastic baby bath, it's got the plug in the bottom so we can empty it over the kitchen sink. Luke and Zavier used their baby bath together until they were nearly 2!!

   Forgot to mention that when I shower with him I just wheel the change table into the bathroom and lay him on that once we've finished (our shower is over our bath). |

   When we shower with DS I put a muslin cloth on my chest and it stops him slipping away.

   We had a bath in our old place when C was first born (up till 5mo) but we used a baby bath anyway!  I filled it in the kitchen and bathed him in the lounge, put the bath on top of a towel.
 For the first couple of months in our new place I would bath him outside on the verandah and then once he was big enough to sit safely on the shower floor I just put him in the shower each night.  He'd been having the occasional shower with DH or I from birth as well (a couple of times a week).  We have a detachable hose/shower head which helps but it's not essential.  C loves playing on the floor in the shower and now that I'm heavily pregnant it's great not having to lift him in and out of a bath or lean over the bath to wash him.  I just sit on a wee stool in the shower door and supervise these days!

   No bath here either.
 We just got them used to the shower from newborns, and now they both love showers. Bella sits in her bath seat as she is still a bit wobbly on her feet even though shes well and truly walking, and Caden just stands/sits and plays with toys.
 
 The only thing I find really hard is that it KILLS my back(its bad anyways), so I usually get DH to do the showers!
 
 I used to put the baby bath in the shower box and the kids would both sit in it, but now that they are both bigger, that wont work.
 Ive been thinking about getting a big plasicmstorage container thingy from the warehouse and bathing them in that, then they would both be able to sit in it. (id put it in the shower box)

   I just bathed DD in a baby bath till she got too big and then she had showers with us until she could sit up... now she stands or sits in the shower she loves it. She like the door shut and washes herself!!! Our shower is quite small but has a moveable shower head she likes to hold it too.

   we don't have a bath, C is old enough to shower and Ty I bath in the baby bath (its quite a deep one) 
I put it in the shower, fill it up using the shower tap and it fills up very fast.
 Its actually me that misses the bath most, I loooove baths, I watched Charmed today and Phoebe was having a bubble bath and I nearly died of jealousy
