How to Bathe Twins so that You Don't Get Stressed Out

A Few Ideas and Suggestions for Parents of Twins

Trying to give your twins a bath can definitely be a very difficult challenge, especially if you don't have any help. So I decided to get a group of mothers together in order to see what solutions that have come up with that makes bath time with twins a little bit easier. Following are the suggestions that I received.

One mother said that she rotates bath nights with her twins. For example on Mondays, she will give one a bathe and on Tuesday she will give the other a bath. On weekends she usually has her husband or her mother to help her with baths so she is able to bathe them together. However she has found the by rotating bath nights she is not as stressed out. Some of the other mothers agreed that bathing them separately definitely helps to make your life easier. However one mother suggested getting a bath tub that hold twins. The one that she uses is called the "Baby Dux Safety Bath". What she loves is that is allows her to have her hands free so that she can quickly and easily clean both babies.

She said that if you don't have any help then you should make sure that you set up your baby dressing area before you put them in the bathtub. You should have their towels ready, diapers, lotion, and baby cream. This should be set up right next to the bathtub. This way as soon as you take one out you can place them right on their towel. She says that she sets up a nice area on the bathroom floor using her changing pads. This way she does not have to worry about the one baby rolling off of anything when she is getting them out of the tub.
