morning mummies
krex78,
like yurri, i also think non slip mat is not going to be very useful. unless you are going to cover the whole toilet or jonah is so guai that he won't move when he bathe. i guess its does take some time for the baby to learn to stand up and bathe, the care giver to learn to let baby stand to bathe. they can't be in the bath tub forever. i have been nagging hubby to let yu ze bathe standing instead of bath tub for a long time too. it only take him last 1-2 months to get the idea that its ok for yu ze to stand to bathe.
in most cases, i try to be consistent with what babysitter did with him. or inform babysitter what i have teach him so that she can be consistent and follows too (eg, when i started training yu ze to hold his own bottle, i told babysitter not to hold for him too. if he refuse to hold, then don't drink milk). of course, there are still some things that are different (eg. babysitter already try to toilet train yu ze and let him go with diaper at home but i still can't do that with him)
anyway, i guess all babies are different. you see what works well for jonah, you and your mil loh.
