Hi, We took our 5 month old and I didnt want to bathe her in the water partly cause of the risk of her swallowing water and also she suffers from bad excema that gets infected easily. We just put her on a towel on the bed and wiped her all over with a wet flannel ( bottled water) then with Sorbelene ( soap substitute due to excema) and then again with a wet flannel. It did the trick for the small time you are away. Also did this for my 4 year old as she tends to drink the shower/bath water. To wash her hair i put the chair in the room against the side of the bath and she laid back like in the hairdressers so i could pour water over her hair from a cup with no risk of it getting near her mouth. Hope this helps :)
