One of the ladies in our group uses a blow up paddle pool and puts it inside the shower cubicle. Seemed like a brilliant idea to me  ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!

With the warming weather coming up you could invest in a paddling pool. We did a bath in the paddling pool in the weekend it was hilarious and the girls loved it. We just boiled the jug a few times so the water was warm but not hot. But obviously you would do more a lunch time bath rather than at night. Could be a bit chilly lol. Or you could just get one of those big plastic storage bins from the warehouse and use that indoors. We had one to keep their toys in and used it as a paddling pool when the girls were little
I'd suggest the sink but I guess they are both a little old for that lol -------------

We just use a baby bath. Both girls used to bath together for ages (until Maddi started filling it with something else )
Now they have separate baths they seem to have heaps of room and love their bath so much. Both are very much water babies. We keep it in the shower and just take it out when DH or I need to take one. It works fine. -------------

Yep, I'm still using a baby bath - even though we have a bath here, it uses less hot water so it's the cheaper option, and in summer I tip the bath water into a bucket and take it out to water my pot plants. ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

We use a baby bath, we had to switch to just showering C with DH or I when he couldn't sit up by himself but was too long for the bath but now he can sit up the bath is getting LOTS of use - paddling pool during the day and bath at night! You can get pretty big baby baths. Unless you got a massive blow up pool he wouldn't be able to dive in that either 
My friend uses a blow up bath/pool that's a bit bigger but they leave it inflated all the time, rather than blowing it up for each bathtime. |

| I used the baby bath at the bottom of the shower up until a few weeks ago. Now I just pull the nozzle down and run it on his body while I wash him. |

I use a little blow up pool in the bottom of the shower for Kahtrell. I just leave it inflated and make sure it's clean before he has his "bath". Has worked for him since he was one. -------------

We use a blow up paddling pool but we just leave it blown up also. We leave it in the shower and just move it out temporarily when we want to shower. That saves blowing it up each time.

That's what I used to do with Maya - 60l tub in the shower. But one of my prerequisites when we moved was that the house had to have a bath! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)
