Viva bath time!

Now he's more upright more of the time, I decided Isaac needed a bath seat rather than a bath support. The bath support was lovely, but we're just too growed up for that these days :mrgreen:

I set to, diligently researching all upright bath seats available for babies, only to be thwarted by one obstacle. There is only one bath seat in the known universe. I kid you not. Actually maybe a little, there are 2 others apart from Safety 1st. One by Tigex and this other one are also available. But seriously - three bath seats? In the known universe.

We opted for the Safety 1st one, although with hindsight maybe the Tigex one would've been better; the toy thing on the Safety 1st one gets in Isaac's way and he doesn't really play with it, although he'll grow and it won't be a problem for long. Having perused the web for links for this post I've discovered that the Australian version of the Safety 1st seat is so much better than the UK version - WTF? Why must the babies of the UK suffer clunkiness whilst Aussie babies enjoy a sleek and streamlined bath experience? Something's not right here...Isaac likes it though :-)

Which brings me onto topic numero deux: the baby dam. Where has this thing been all my life?? It's GREAT! I didn't think so at first when it leaked and I swore at it and threw it out of the bathroom. Simon fitted it properly last night & tonight I did it all on my own! Hurrah! It's a nifty little device that means you only have to fill half of the bath with water, thus saving time, water and money (as we are now on a meter). GREAT STUFF! Here is Isaac enjoying both items.

The dam does leak a little, but it's nothing to be worried about.

Hurrah for the baby dam and viva bath time!
