We finally made the leap. The leap from baby bath tub to big bath tub! Why the delay? Lydia has been a fully unsupported sitter for some time now, but it's the trach. The trach terrifies me. Water in the trach is a super no no since it's a pathway to her lungs. So I'm a wee bit anxious at bath time. Dad brings the smiles, fun and squirty bath toys.
Alright, so no baby bath tub. I couldn't just put her in the big tub. We talked about using a laundry basket to keep her from moving around too much or from falling forward. She doesn't know her limitations. After talking to other trach moms we settled on a bath chair. It's not fancy, but Amazon doesn't seem to know that.
Lydia now has a diva bath chair and is having a blast! She's kicking her feet all around in the bubbles, grabbing for her squirty toys, and reaching out to play in the water. It's so fun! Still a little terrifying for me when we're washing her hair, but hey, I'll deal. Look at this kid!
