I get sooo bored just standing there letting her play. So now I’ve started getting her pj’s out, putting her white noise on ready, cleaning up dinner, making her bottle things like that when she first gets in. I run back in every 2 mins to check on her and all the doors are open so I can see her still but it gives her time to play and me to get things sorted with her out of the way. Then I go in and wash her and do her hair as quickly as possible to get it all over and done with😂
@Aaliyah I can see from your profile your baby is only 11 months! All it takes is one second for baby to not be safe anymore, to say you get bored standing there so leave baby unattended isn’t right, cut out the play time in the bath for her safety. Even if baby is in a seat you think she can’t get out of. Baby’s learn skills really quickly and will eventually learn how to get out of anything and you could be elsewhere doing something and not realise. Get everything for after bath prepped before putting her in, when she is in highchair get all of these tasks done not when she is in an unsafe position.
@Aliscia not sure if you think I live in a mansion but there’s only 1 of those things that I can’t do 4 steps away from her in the next room. That close that I might as well be in the bathroom. When I’m putting her white noise on the 1 thing that I can’t do virtually right next to her my boyfriend is in there with her. It’s also near on impossible for her to get out of her seat. My child is never in an “unsafe position” thank you. She actually stands in the high chair yet has never stood in the bath and she can’t so it’s safer to have her in the bath and be 4 steps away than have her in the high chair.
@Aaliyah being defensive over openly admitting to leaving your baby in an unsafe position and then trying to tell yourself it’s totally safe to leave her in a position to drown just because you’re 4 steps away.it doesn’t matter how close you are when your attention is split you can never ensure the safety of your child. How can you be cleaning up mess and grabbing things from other rooms and still be keeping your eyes on her. My comment wasn’t to get sarcasm in return it was to educate yourself as you clearly need it.also if she’s getting out of her highchair maybe get one that is safer or introduce a table and chairs to her to minimise risk :)
Me! My baby hates the water anyway so bathtime is literally as quick as possible before he has a meltdown. He's always been like this, doesn't matter what toys or bubbles or fun we put in
