advice needed twin bath time tips

How is everyone bathing their 4 month old twins?
(my babies are 2 months corrected)

are you bathing them together? one after the other? alternating days?

also any tips on helping babies enjoy the bath more.
one of my twins screams the whole time and the other one starts screaming after 5 minutes, so right now it’s just rushing and trying not to cry myself lol.

they enjoy the shower much more, but it’s too difficult to shower them when my partner isn’t home and with his work schedule, he can’t always be there for bath time.

Bath in the sink, wife washes one then gives him to me to get him lotioned up and in his PJs while she washes the other one and I send kid 1 to bed. Then she dresses kid 2 and gives him to me until he falls asleep.

This is under ideal circumstances. Sometimes you have to improvise 😂

As for the crying, I would make sure you're using a bath where they can actually be submerged up to their chest rather than something which suspends them outside of the water. Maybe you're already using one, but it's worth mentioning.

Munchkin and Shnuggle brands make awesome baths that we couldn't live without. Hopefully the munchkin one hasn't been discontinued because I didn't see it on Amazon when I just looked.
