Question:


How do you manage bathing 9-month-old twins? Do you bathe them together?

Answer:


Nine-month-old twins can certainly be a handful especially when they are wet and slippery! If they can both sit up unsupported and you do not turn your back for a second, I would bathe them together and get them both out of the bathtub before drying or diapering either (i.e. wrap one in a towel while you handle the other). As they get older, they will love to play together in the bath.
