up untill a coupple of days ago i used to shower him fast,, he was saying hes cold and was shivering so now ive been warming up his room with the oil column heater and i put his cloths on it to warm them up also,,,, yesterday i half filled a bucket up with warm soapy water and took it to his warm room where i stood him in the bucket and washed him in it,, he thought i was funny and loved it also and has been asking me for a bucket bath since ,,,

even my fingers have been going purple in this house ... i hate the cold.....

hi, we used one of those inexpensive to buy but expensive to run little electric fan heaters.  You need it for such a short amount of time that the cost of it isn't very much at all.  I had a change table on wheels.  I would set the heater up in the bathroom turn it on close the door and run the bath, while all that was going on I'd grab her p.j's or what ever, her hoody towel etc and lay her on the change table and wheel it all into the bathroom (I backed in as it left little room to get around)  turn off the water un dress bub in the now toasty warm bathroom and giver her bath (about 10 mins) dry her off, lotion get her dressed on the change table then turn off the heater and pack it away into the bathroom cupboard.  It ran for approx 20 mins and at that point I bathed her every night...I didn't notice any huge jump in our power bill and it's almost instant heat in that small room.......I then used to go and jump in the shower myself whilst the bathroom was still warm coz I'm a cold woose LOL.

I'd do it that way again, so personally I reckon it's the way to go.

Hi,when our children were little and babies most of the time either my husband or I would go for a shower or bath then the other partner would bring them in already undressed but wrapped in a towel then we would wash them then my husband or i would come and get them then go and dress them warmly.Hope this may help you a little .

hi my son is 16 mo and i bath him with me we only have a very small bath or we shower with plug in the steam keeps him warm with the bath room door shut and then i leave him in the bath while i put my pjs on while watching him all the time (back wards or in side out pjs are the norm lol)  then pull him out and dry him off then nappy and pjs. or i dress him in front of the heater. hope that has helped a little.

he loves the shower and has done since 10 months as he doesnt always want to sit in the tub.

hi there

i used to live in a cold house and we used those column heaters they are fantastic put it on an hour or 2 before bath time they are so warm

Give it a go i swear by them

Hey! We live in a really cold house. I take my 17 month old in the shower with me in the morning. I don't know if that would suit you, but it certainly suits me. I've been taking her in the shower since about 10 months as she doesn't like to go in the bath while she sees me in the shower. You could try this just for winter! Good luck with it - winter is an awful time of the year!
