my daughter is 7 months old and my son is 3 --- is it inapropriate for them to take a bath together?
-
I wouldn't think so. They're not old enough to know what their body parts mean.
-
dont think anything is wrong with it at that age..
-
if he notices her girl parts and his parts looks differnt than yea

That's fine. You should be able to bathe them together until they're around 7ish without any problems.
-
I don't see anything wrong with it. Heck, as a preteen/teenager/adult, I've showered with each of my younger brothers and sisters when they were toddlers. They loved it because they could be "big people", since they were only allowed to take a shower if an older person was in the tub; otherwise, it was a bath with an older person standing watch.
-
I don't see anything wrong with it at that age. They are both still innocent babes.
-
I only have boys, but there are usually more than one in the tub at a time. Saves water and they enjoy playing. It's innocent at this age!
-
I dont see anything wrong with it I have a younger sister 7 years younger i took baths with her until she was 7 or 8 nothing gross just playing all innocent and younger brother 8 years younger stopped when he was 3 or 4 because i was a preteen and got innappropriate but my brother and sister are a year apart and they showered till they were like 9 and 10 or so but it was not wierd
-
Maybe you should consult w/your pediatrician with this idea? :dontknow: I’m sure I would not want to share the same bath water w/my sibling when I become old enough to understand what’s going on. ;D
-
i think as soon as they notice that they are different, then they should not bath together
-

It is actually not a bad thing at that age to have them bath together. Even if they notice the differences it is a learning experience for them to know how and why they are boy and girl I would think.
-
in my opinion, it depends on the child and how much the child notices.
-
Yeah...it's ok, no? they are children yet......
-
Just cover their private parts :o with undies and they can have Tons of FUN ! ;D Why would they want to see their private parts, just fix them up a bubble bath.
-
I don't see anything wrong with that. I have a daughter and son that took baths together. I think my daughter was five(son 3) when they
started having seperate baths. They had so much fun playing in the bubbles, they never even seemed to notice anything else. I was always
there watching.
-
Probably not at this young age. ??? But, you should get them used to bathing alone soon. :dontknow:
-
Sometimes I'm glad I don't have kids and have to worry about all that stuff, but then sometimes I see how happy my friends are with kids and I want them too... lol
-
i don't see anything wrong with it. my 2 year old daughter and 1 year old son bath together. it makes things easier for me and they have fun playing together.
-
At that age, there's nothing wrong with it. My sister and I were bathed together till I was 6-7 and she 2-3 yrs. old. Even if they do notice the difference in bodies, it isn't noticing the differences in a sexual manner. If anything it might click why guys can pee standing up, but that's about as far as it'd go.
-
No that's fine. It's hard to tell when it would become inappropriate. That's up to you.
-
I would say no for now. But when your 3 year old gets a little older like in Kindergarden I wouldn't because of the age difference. Right now you are all right.
-
I don't see anything wrong at that age.
-
heck didnt get wierd for me and my sister till her husband wanted to join us.. lol
-
ITS COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8) 8) 8) 8) :icon_rr: :icon_rr: :icon_rr: :icon_rr:
-
I have 5 boys and 1 girl. Only my baby boy and my 2 yo girl bathe together. I think my 4 yo boy is too old to bathe with her.
-
my daughter is 7 months old and my son is 3 --- is it inapropriate for them to take a bath together?
Both children are young enough to be innocent. Worse case scenario is that the 3 year old might be curious about difference in gender but I don't see anything wrong with curiosity. It's an opportunity to teach.
-
I don't see anything wrong with it. I have 5 kids and when they were little I bathed them more than one at a time.. Had to or bath time would have taken hours lol.
-
My kids bathed to gater until the oldest one was 5, and started school.
-
I really have no opinion. I had 2 boys 7 years apart, and I grew up with a brother 2 years older than I whom I don't ever remember bathing with. I would consult my pediatrician.
-
Yes, that's fine. They're still babies.
-
Hmmmmmm, 7 and 3? I don't think it's appropriate, but like many has mentioned before, depends on the children.
-
It's not a problem. My little ones loved to take a bath together. They'll let you know when they don't want to anymore.
-
Children do not know shame until we teach them. Let them enjoy their innocence while they can. Trying to hide parts of their bodies will just confuse them and make them think there's something wrong with their own, or each other's, bodies. You have the opportunity to give them healthy body images. They'll be better adjusted adults if you do.
-
My kids are 3 1/2 (boy) and 2 (girl) and they love to take baths together. They have tons of fun in there and when you want to get bedtime done quick, this is the way to go! I see nothing wrong with them being in there together. They are definitely way too young to know.
-
Kiddos don't even notice these types of things. I have 3 boys and they love to play together in the tub. They are thinking more about how to make toys drown and make splashes than each other's bodies. My 3 year old still thinks mom is the same as the boys. Harmless, innocent, and at that age fun, just like being at the pool. Let them play!
