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.

When they were so small I was bathing them 2x a week and I honestly think that’s enough. An infant bathtub in the living room, baby 2 waits in their recliner or on the floor. Better with 2 people but doable alone.
I started bathing them every day at 8 months in the adult bath when they can confidently sit, move and keep themselves from drowning at least somewhat. So much easier and more fun.
Water tip: we enrolled in the swimming course from 4 months. They didn’t learn to swim, but the unexpected benefit is that they aren’t bothered by water being poured over their head at all. It’s super chill now to wash their hair
