I have been doing it for my nine month old daughter and it is real fun. Have you ever done that?

Yes. I have been giving my son a bath for about 3 years now. He loves it. And it is nice to get him all clean and smelling good.

Hello ranjeet. I can't count the number of baths I gave to my two little ones. I personally bathe them and it was an exhilarating and at the same time a tiresome experience. I remember placing them in a bath seat or bath tub and they used it as their mini swimming pool. I think I have a huge pictures of them taking their bath.

I don't often bath for my child. Usually my husband does this. A man who can share this housework is very nice. So I can tell that you are a very good father.

Well being a mom of 4 kids I must say that I have given a few baby baths. You are so right thought it is fun to see how they enjoy the water as get to be about your daughters age. They love the bubbles and splashing the water. My babies are all grown up now and have babies of their own. so be sure to take all the time you can and spend it with your darling daughter because before you know it she will make you a grandparetn.

Because I'm only returning home weekly so that when I help my wife in bathing our 10 months old youngest daughter. Well its quite fun and relaxing since our baby loves to bath and get along with water well. I just love seeing how she reacts when we pour water to her and she is just like playing with it cheerfully.

I never did until my oldest was born. I started off with sponge baths until his umbillical cord fell off and then he graduated to the tub. He was always a real water baby and loved his bath time.

Yes, when my son was a baby he used to love taking baths. It was great fun watching him splash and giggle. We now have a great neice who we have been taking care of on the weekends since she was 4 weeks old. She started really enjoying taking a bath at about 3 months. She is now 6 months old and can sit in one of the bath chairs, it is so funny watching her.

Bath time is always been lots of fun when bathing my children my oldest is now 6 and a half so she is beginning to move onto bathing herself and even showers, but i have a 4 year old and a 2 year old that still love to laugh splash and play. I am alot younger then my siblings so i got to bath babies when i was young and i can remeber then it was a blast.

Yep. I loved bath time when my son was born. He wasn't very fond of the baby bathtub, so once I was allowed to take baths I would just get in the regular bathtub and bathe him there. He liked that much better. Even now (he's 5), if he has a fever and has to go in a tepid bath I'll get in with him. Since the bath means that he's sick and has a fever, it's very comforting to him to be able to lean on me.

When my son was born 15 years ago, we did not have local anaesthesia methods in Sri Lanka. So all the baby's work was done by me, as my wife was unconscious. Later the baby got used to me and most of his work was done by me. Even during the night I would keep awake to look after him. So it was I who was bathing him continuously.

I give my baby boy a bath everyday before i got to work and if im off duty i can also give my daughter a bath, its is fun alright and for me thats at least i can do for them before i got to work for 8 hours or so and then my mother takes over, its sort of bonding time for us, me giving them baths.

you're a very loving father. I don't have kids but I know that if we do, my husband would love to bathe our babies. He is a loving person, much like you and my dad.

Yes! At first I was scared because she was so little. My daughter was so tiny it seemed compared to me! I would take my time and be so careful, but after she was older and could sit up on her own, it became more fun! I loved giving her baths. It was our favorite time of the day!

Yes I have. I agree with you that it is real fun. My son is almost 3 now and it is still a lot of fun. Bath time and then getting ready for bed is one of our favorite times of the day. It is great fun sharing this special time of day with him.

When my baby was a newborn, i had a hard time giving him a bath coz he's just too fractious. He cries a lot but now he's older he's enjoying it and even bath with me.
