The other day, our 5-month-old Lukas needed a bath, like, NOW. Our baby tub, I must admit, is a big pain, and though I've tried bathing him in the big tub, that's just as bad, as he slides around and can't sit up yet. Surely, there had to be an easier way.
I own a Zolowear Solarveil sling, and remembered that way back when I was doing research on what I wanted, I read that the sling can be used to bath the baby. If you look here, you can see why that is. Put it on, put the baby in, and you and your baby get clean at the same time. Mine was perfectly content to be in the sling and get washed.
As usual, I do have a word of caution. Always make sure your baby is secure in the sling, and if you do use your Solarveil sling in this way, be very careful in the shower. If you fall, your baby falls, too.
I LOVED wearing Gray in the water sling when I took a shower. Pretty much every shower I took, he took with me. He loved the water and would often go right to sleep!
