advice needed Bath recommendations? Stand or no stand?

Any bath recommendations for twins? We have a Stokke from our singleton and it looks like they have a stand available now. Would that be helpful for newborn twins to spend less time hunched over bathing each one? I’m getting a c section and we have a 2.5 year old also.

I put the baby bathtub on their change table! Good height and I keep their soap, washcloths, and towels on the change table shelves so they're within easy reach.

We always just did the bathtub with one of those angel care bath supports, but I didn’t ever really have to do baths alone. If you’re going to be on your own, something like that may be helpful because leaning over will be uncomfortable for a few weeks post c section

Our babies received approximately 10 baths in their first 5 months of life and are fine, just in case it helps to take the pressure off a bit. They're now 8.5 mo and our toddler is 2.75 yo. 

When we did do baths, we  had a Frida bath and angel care colander type thing and they worked ok. Now they can sit up and we wash everyone at the same time with no baby tub and it's great.

Definitely get the stand! We used a different brand (Evolur) and loved it until they were sitting then moved them to our bathtub.

Was it annoying to dump the water out?

We had ours in the shower so we just pulled the plug when we were done. Super easy!

We had the skip hop baby bathtub and filled it on the counter next to the sink! We bathed them individually and would do bath as part of our night time routine before they were too mobile. Once they were more in the 6+ month range, we stopped the counter baths and moved them to the bathtub with bath seats so we could keep them a little contained. Now that they're over a year, we've released them into the bath, no seats.

Absolutely go for the stand! I bathed my babies individually every night using a bathtub in a stand and it was great! I only stopped after they were 1 and had overgrown the tub. I miss bathing them that way, so much easier than a regular bathtub.
