If you are worried that your baby will be scared by this big bathtub, then you can continue to use the small one, but when you use it, you have to put the small one inside the big one, and the big one can be empty until he gets used to the big bathtub.

Bathing a baby in a large tub is more strenuous, and you must hold the baby's arms until he can stand on his own. Don't bend over to bathe the baby, your back will hurt, you should kneel at the side of the tub and put all the items you need on the floor beside you. Put a plastic suction pad at the bottom of the tub to prevent the baby from slipping in it, not less (no deeper than 10-13 cm).

It doesn't take much water to make a baby who keeps wriggling and kicking slip in the water, so you must always keep an eye out. Remember never to leave your baby alone in the bath, not even for a moment; not even to turn around and do something else in the same room.

Therefore, it is your responsibility to make bathing a happy and trouble-free affair.

Once the baby can sit up, always leave him some time to pat the water and play with toys on his own when the bath is almost over. Have some boats, ducks, sponges, or cups on hand for him to play with and see what they can do. If you have two children, occasionally try to bathe them together, so that the older child can play with the younger one, the older child can also tell the younger one about what water can do. Babies will be excited to see how containers are filled, emptied or water poured from one container to another, and he will enjoy watching some toys float on the water while another type of toy slowly sinks to the bottom of the tub.
