Bathing with child?

Question

What age do you guys think it is acceptable to bath with your child until? Lately iv been getting alot of rude remarks from family members for bathing with my son who just turned 2 a few days ago. Iv been bathing with him since he was born and didnt see anything wrong with it. My hubby bathes with him too sometimes. Now being pregnant i just find it easier to bath with him because its difficult to bend over the side of the tub. And he likes me being in the tub with him... He comes to cuddle with me and my bump.... Am i nuts or are there other mommies out there that bath with their toddlers

Answer

My son is almost 3 we still bathe idk when ever you want to stop I guess

Answer

My daughter is 4 months old & I don't bathe with her. I just don't like the idea of it really. But if I did, I don't think I would do it after she was a year old. I just think it's weird. Especially when they can talk & grab things. I just, no. Not for me. But really, you're the parent so you make the decisions.

Answer

I would think maybe when they start asking questions.

Answer

Many people feel differently about this but I stopped the second I seen him actually stare at my body then look at his. I think he was about 15 months.

Answer

Truthfully I don't see it being all that clean to do. Why would you want to sit in a tub with your child who's been running around all day in lord knows what? Plus there's the fact that even taking a bath alone isn't all that sanitary, especially for a woman. 
If I were to bathe with my child at all it would stop before a year old, especially because I'm having a boy. But truthfully the cleanliness issue just squicks me out.

Answer

Ive only bathed with my daughter when she first came home from the NICU because she was terrified of the tub. once we got her used to it, I stopped. i just find it easier to give her a bath on her own. Plus I use my 15 minute shower to relax. My sister is 8 and my mom will still sometimes bathe with her. If i were doing it, I would say when they started to ask questions.

Answer

I have never bather or showered with my daughter.  To me I don't see how it saves time or makes things easier..  I think it's what you are comfortable with.  I have taught my child about body parts since she was little as soon as she started to understand whay they were we had the privacy talk so I think when you have that talk is when you should start giving them thier privacy. But again. It's ultimately up to you

Answer

Definitely not nuts. I hate bathing personally so I don't do it but I totally think it's fine!!!
