I introduce him to water gradually i.e starting with washing his head first while the body is embraced to me. Before proceeding immersing him in water totally. I concentrate keeping him on his stomach position while sponging him before rinsing with water, with my arm beneath him. At times, with this he pass on sleeping comfortably in bath.

I place the baby tub in our regular bathroom tub, bring baby into the tub with me, let her dangle her toes under the running water to get used to it, then place her in her own little tub while it fills with water. I plug it up, then enjoy a mini bath myself. She loves it – no tears!
