I use the sink, too. I have all my supplies just off to the side so there is never a time when at least one hand isn't on Rhett. I make sure the water is tepid and I don't use the sprayer near his face- just a wash cloth. On the bottom of the sink I put another washcloth to give his feet some grip. I use cotton balls in his ear canals(soaked with cleaner) to keep out water and dull the sounds of the sink. I also play classical music while we are bathing. It calms us both down.
Above all, I bathe him once a week (only using shampoo every other time at this stage) just so he gets used to the process.
