It’s bath night and I’m solo parenting, so I’m walking you through exactly how I do our bath time routine when it’s just me with my 2-year-old and my 6-month-old (they’re 18 months apart). I remember being pregnant and genuinely stressing about how I’d ever manage baths alone, so this is the real-life version—no perfect setup, just what works for us on a regular night. My biggest tip is prepping everything before anyone gets out of the tub, because trying to grab lotion, diapers, toothbrushes, and all the little things while they’re wet and wild is absolutely crazy. Sometimes I bathe them separately, but if my toddler is insisting (and baby’s in a good mood), I’ll do a quick together bath and keep baby’s time in there super short—like two minutes max. I speed through baby’s wash, do diaper + lotion right there while she plays, and then focus on my toddler. We keep it simple with our usual washes, a quick rinse, and I’m basically moving fast once baby starts getting over it. If I can do it, you can do it too.
