From baby bath to big bath

[JoAnn&Aimee]

We've just bought Aimee a bath support as it was beginning to be a pain bringing the baby bath from the bathroom to the living room every night. We tried it on Sunday, Aimee seemed alright with it but last night she cried during her bath which is weird for her. She has always been very calm in the bath so not sure if it is the change from little bath to big bath. Any ideas?

Could it be colder? We've only ever used the big bath and we fill it then wait a little bit before checking the temperature as because there is so little water the bath cools it down. We have a cast iron bath though. We do find that waiting also means the room is warm and steamy.

Have you tried bathing with her? Maybe she'd be calmer with you for a bit.

Are you using the bath support in the big bath?
Could be that the water cools down quicker in the big bath tub, and/or a change in the bath tub could've upset her.
Can't you put the baby bath tub in the big bath?

She has started getting used to the big bath now. It is a bit colder in the bathroom as our hall is freezing due to us being on the 12th floor of a flat. No point in putting the heater on as it is next to the front door and the heat just goes right out the door. We used to bathe her in the living room which is toasty warm. As soon as she comes out the bath we wrap her in a towel and bring her straight into the living room to get dried and dressed.
