She is only 2 months old now....Baby with no bath, only shower?
I have the same problem. At first I tried the sink, but our house is old and the countertops are so low that my back would KILL from trying to hold my son correctly. I ended up getting and inflatable baby tub. It is about 2.5 feet long and has a plug in the bottom, so you can drain it without having to mess with it too much. Right now, I set it on the countertop, with the plug over the sink. It raises my 3 month old up to my level, so I can support him well (I put a towel on the bottom so he isn't slipping all around). When we are done, I just pop the plug and go about my business of drying/clothing him. After it drains, I can just pick it up and store it in a closet so I don't have to inflate it every time. When the baby is sitting up on his own, I will move the little tub to the bottom of the shower. We will be able to use this for a while. When he is older, I plan on just doing a shower with him and then doing other things like a pool or something to that effect (hopefully we will be in a different house though, and I won't have to do that!)Baby with no bath, only shower?
go to website www.onestepahead.com and order the inflatable tub.

We're in the same predicament. We bought a large baby tub, and put that into the shower and washed her in it. We eventually found a sturdy plastic table and actually put the tub on it. This isn't safe, but we stay next to the tub so that there's less of a danger, and it makes it so that we can play with her more.
The problem we're running into now though is that she's outgrowing it, and I hate to give her a shower since it's so much less pleasant. So I'm going to watch your question and see what folks recommend for you.
hey!
my friend had a small shower til her little girl was about 3 and they just used to but a baby bath in there ( you can get some toys, the ones that stick to the side and you can pour water in) in the end she loved having a shower, but all kids are different, my shower scares the hell out of my little boy, just hope your baby girl is ok too as she grows older, im sure they get used to what they know and dont miss what they donk know :S x
You could always bath her in the laundry sink when she gets older. My friend does that as she does not have a bath tub. My newborn was having shower when he was younger and still does he plays in the running water and thinks it's great. If you are worried about your baby not having the 'play time' in the water you could always take him/her to the pool.
look at the primo euro tub...it is great...nbs can lay on the incline with a smalll amt of water ;and when they can sit up, they are supported sitting in the other end and u can add more water for them to play.....i am so glad i got it instead of those 'infant tubs'
My sisters 3 year old step son LOVES the shower. He is always asking for a shower. They also don't have a bath. I wouldn't worry. Kids like different things.
You can use a sink for when she gets older but stores will sell you these plastic tubs with little seats. You fill them up with water and then you can wash your baby in them.
use the kitchen sink
