[QUOTE="kim75062, post: 710196, member: 20727"] I think it depends on the child. My daughters where 7 and 12 when baby brother was born. The 12 year old was over the cute little baby brother stage by the time he was a month old lol. So changing a diaper was a much hated job for her. The 7 year old look at him as the coolest real life baby doll she'd ever seen. She wanted to change diapers. As a newborn I was right there superving within arms reach. I'm also a huge worrier. I would say at around 6-7 months when he was able to sit upright in a secure bath seat with no problems I would allow his soon to be 8 year old sister watch him play in the tub. Obviously I would wash him etc. and if she wanted to watch him splash around for a little while I had no problem with it. But I was always close by with the bathroom door open to hear her scream "MOM I'm bored now" usually within 10 minutes as she has ADHD lol [/QUOTE]
