I love bathing babies. I have been so tempted to dunk Eli for days now. His cord is all better now so he can officially graduate from sponge baths to the tub. Of couse Mason wanted in on the action. When Mason was a newborn we found the bath and the noise of running water would calm him when nothing else worked. Our trick to helping the babies feel secure in the water is to swaddle them tightly and put the whole bundle in the water. As they get comfortable and accustomed to the sensation we slowly remove the blanket. If they get cold or insecure, pulling the blanket over their torso does the trick.
