Disabled Parents

[LeanneE]

hello, im am currently researching the problems disabled parents face when bathing their babies. i was just wondering if any parents with disabilities could provide me with any information on the problems faced during bath time and also what your current set up is whilst bathing you baby??
Thanks

I don't know if it will help but I have fibromyalgia and am struggling with a bone issue - I'm finding it easier now, but I had a bad flare up with the fibromyalgia and invested in one of those baby-shaped sponges for the bottom of the bath. We haven't a baby bath, see. It meant I could lay her on that and not need to try hold onto her constantly. If it helps, yay.

I'm not disabled but 10 days before i had my baby i broke my ankle in 3 places and was in a cast till baby was 6 wks old. As i was on crutches i couldnt carry him anyway but the most difficult thing was fillling up the baby bath and emptying it. Hope that helps?
