First WashPod Bath


Tonight we tried a new kind of bath. Thanks to family friend Juliane for introducing us to it. Her daughter in Germany loved hers. So we thought we would give this a shot as the concept was very cool. We will also be using the baby tub from our friend Cassie and Sam but from reading about this new kind of bath infants are suppose to like it more and fuss less as they feel as if they are back in the womb. A WashPod is an interesting concept. It looks like a big bucket, but it is made to be balanced and not tip over. The WashPod also has a little "cushioned" seat in the bottom so that the baby can sit. I think for the first go around with this new bath we did okay.  There were times it took three of us to figure it all out, but we now know it will be better if we place the WashPod is on a lower surface so the adult's arms aren't tired or awkward.

Once Payton Rose was in and settled she seemed happy and content as she seems to love the warm water like her Mama does. We will try again Wednesday since now we know what to do and what to expect. Here are some of the photos of our first try at our new WashPod.

Even Daddy was a bit stressed and nervous at first, you can see in the last photo that before he could help Mama out he had to calm himself with his pacifier.
