Yeah Bay loves to sing and talk to himself and what have you which is why i asked him if he was alright when he went silent and all i got was a mumbling noise
He is a very independant and extremely stubborn child so sitting in when he doesnt want me to just causes big fights (although in saying that id obviously much rather the fights to the other conseqence! ) so i might try the mirror thing as i am always sitting within metres of the bathroom.

Last night was the first night that he had a bath without me since the incident and i sat outside the door and my mum was also in very next room and we both asked him every minute or so! if he was ok even though he was making so much racket singing and stuff!! and he actually got sick of us asking! he also got tired again but after speaking to him last time - he asked to get out and ly down so that was good ]]> Tue, 10 Apr 2007 10:35:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6603&PID=128128&title=scarey-bath-times#128128 <![CDATA[Scarey bath times!!! : Does Bailey like to sing?

Does Bailey like to sing? If so you could put a favourite cd/dvd on that he will sing along to and then you will have another indicator to whats going on, hope you have got over the shock ]]> Tue, 10 Apr 2007 00:10:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6603&PID=128033&title=scarey-bath-times#128033 <![CDATA[Scarey bath times!!! : Wow that is scary... like the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6603&PID=128001&title=scarey-bath-times#128001 Author: arohanui

Wow that is scary... like the stories you hear of children drowning in an inch of water... makes me feel very paranoid!!]]> Mon, 09 Apr 2007 22:17:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6603&PID=128001&title=scarey-bath-times#128001 <![CDATA[Scarey bath times!!! : Im not going to judge anyone here....i...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6603&PID=127990&title=scarey-bath-times#127990 Author: Bombshell

Im not going to judge anyone here....i just want to say that i once dealt with a family where the 2 year old drowned when left alone as a phone rang...very very quick and disasterous result...child is basically a vegetable now and shocked me to the core to read about teh child and then to meet this child! Lots more to this but wont go into it.

PLEASE watch kids in the bath / water, they dont panic, they do drown, and if they survive a drowning their lives will constantly remind you of that one minute.]]> Mon, 09 Apr 2007 21:50:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6603&PID=127990&title=scarey-bath-times#127990 <![CDATA[Scarey bath times!!! : sorry to lurk.. but can you set...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6603&PID=127980&title=scarey-bath-times#127980 Author: thunderwolves

sorry to lurk.. but can you set up a little mirror so you can see him from outside the room, you know like those round ones they put on the road at blind corners,

we set up those in the quiet areas at my creche, give the kids the sense they are alone, but are really in full vision.

Yeah i heard that kids dont fight when they are drowning and that frightens me but i never thought that he would do what he did as he wasnt in a deep bath
I have been having baths with him so far since then as he wont bath if im sitting on the outside watching him and im way to freaked out to leave him again! ]]> Mon, 09 Apr 2007 08:55:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6603&PID=127783&title=scarey-bath-times#127783 <![CDATA[Scarey bath times!!! : Very scary, we don&#039;t have...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6603&PID=127763&title=scarey-bath-times#127763 Author: kezplanet

Very scary, we don't have a bath but the girls are always in water outside and watering the garden etc but there is always one thing that sticks in my mind with water safety and that is "you will never hear a child drowning" I remember it from a pool safety advertisment, apparently young kids dont "fight or splash" a very scary thought. The going quiet is a great sign for my girls, its always the time to check whats going on. One day you will be happy that Bailey can sleep anywhere lol but it must have given you a horrible fright.]]> Mon, 09 Apr 2007 01:25:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6603&PID=127763&title=scarey-bath-times#127763 <![CDATA[Scarey bath times!!! : I don&#039;t watch Ella in the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6603&PID=127540&title=scarey-bath-times#127540 Author: meow

I don't watch Ella in the bath either. You went to him as soon as he went quiet and that's what matters I always listen out and call out to her if she stops singing, and she answers.]]> Sun, 08 Apr 2007 07:59:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6603&PID=127540&title=scarey-bath-times#127540 <![CDATA[Scarey bath times!!! : that is scary. good thing you...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6603&PID=127495&title=scarey-bath-times#127495 Author: my2angels

that is scary. good thing you noticed it went quiet when you did.
Apparently they dont freak out. My neice was in the bath once and my sister was in the room with her just had her back to her while she was sorting out towels and clothes etc.. turned around and my neice was under the water but she said she was so calm, just lay there rather than fighting.

I never thought that that would happen as i thought once he inhaled the water he would freak out!! but we never gave him the chance! just quite shaken to think what couldv happened!! ]]> Sat, 07 Apr 2007 17:41:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6603&PID=127458&title=scarey-bath-times#127458 <![CDATA[Scarey bath times!!! : Oh my goodness!

Heres one of the big down sides to having a very sleepy child! - he was just in the bath and i sit in the next room on the comp as he doesnt like me watching him and he is always fine in there as i can always hear him BUT just before - he went all quiet so i called out "Son are you ok?" and got a quiet mumble back so i rushed in and he was laying on his tummy with his eyes closed and face half under the water!!! i didnt know whether to smile at how cute it was or cry with how dangerous and scarey it was!!! I usually only put a small bath in so he can lay on his back flat with head still out of the water but at the age of 3 i didnt expect him to fall asleep face first!!!
I probably sound like the worlds worst mother!! not sitting in there with him and i certainly feel like it now!
Scarey to think that he will just doze off like that in water!! he goes to sleep ANYWHERE!! often while eating and often while standing up!!! (he just topples over!) we know that its not a condition and is just something he has inherited from DH as he could sleep on sharp rocks and not flinch!!

Very Scarey!!! ]]> Sat, 07 Apr 2007 16:51:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6603&PID=127437&title=scarey-bath-times#127437
