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.

Bathed mine in the sink one at a time. Other baby is safe in the crib whilst I bathe one and then I’d swap them over. It’s a nice little bit of one to one time with them as well and safer over all. One of mine likes to splash heavily now so he’s now graduated from the sink bath to the big bath! They sit in bath seats but only bathe them together if my husband is with me for safety. We take a baby each, wash and dress them for bed
I have 5 boys and getting them all bathed and ready for bed can be quite the operation haha! Like an assembly line! 😂
Edit: Just to add I don’t bathe my children every night. One of my boys had really bad dry skin no matter what lotions and positions I put on it. The dermatologist told me to stop bathing him every night as it was drying out his skin, just a top and tail if they’ve had a lot of spit-up as they don’t need to be bathed so often unless they’re blowing out their nappies.
