Disadvantages: often end up in everybodies bath time

My three month old daughter loves going in her bath. She starts kicking her legs and giggling when the water splashes her. This is a glorious site to see but can make bathing her very difficult.

I got a tiny rubber duck in a Christmas cracker this year and promptly made a mental note to use it in her bath to see if it would take her attention so she would stay still long enough to wash her.

At her next bath as soon as she was lowered into the water she was kicking and laughing again. I let her have a little play and then showed her the rubber duck. Immediately she stopped splashing and gazed at this strange yellow thing bobbing on the water. I managed to wash her without getting drenched but it didn?t last long as she was soon trying to kick the duck, which resulted in more splashing and more water on mummy than in the bath.

Since then she will watch the duck long enough to be washed and then have great fun trying to launch the duck out of the bath.

I love rubber ducks and wouldn?t be without one now as the happier she is in the bath the better it is. I find that it is easier to get her to bed after a bath if she has been playing than if she has decided she doesn?t like it that night.

I bought this set of three ducks (one large and two small) by Tommee Tippee from Tescos and I think they were £1.99. I?m so glad I did because it is worth getting soaked to see her giggle at the ducks and then put so much effort into kicking them.
