I agree, the sink is ideal - it's also much easier on your back! (No leaning over the tub!) Both Oscar and Ruthie were complete boobs about being bathed but over time they've just adjusted. I used to have to hold Oscar with one hand while trying to wash him with the other - now he'll just stand there for me. Ruthie would struggle so hard and WHINE to get out of the sink - you'd think I was killing her! But even she has gotten much better and no longer whines or struggles.
Just keep with it - they'll get used to it! Continue to talk calmly to her. Try to be as quick about it as possible. I don't know if you have a sprayer for your sink (you can buy one cheap that will attach to your faucet) but maybe that would be better than putting her into a sink filled with water? Plus I find the sprayer helps get the suds out!
Good luck! Keep with it! |
