I use the kitchen sink because I have a sprayer and I am more relaxed. I get tired and grumpy bending over the bathtub. I have a stainless steel sink that I can disinfect before and after. Tearless shampoo and cotton balls with just a smidge of vaseoline on them work great for keeping water out of ears. Make sure the water temp is a comfortable level. Lexi isn't too crazy about any grooming yet, but Chloe does well. I usually croon to her, talk a bunch of nonsense, tell her what a good girl she is, talk about relaxing in a "hot tub." I have hubby throw a towel in the dryer to spin while I'm bathing them, then I hand them off to him to be snuggled in a warm towel for a bit of hugs and kisses before blow drying.
When Chloe was little it was winter, so keeping her from getting chilled was important. The little maniacs are running around the living room chasing each other right now. Maybe a good warm bath while be in order later! |
