I love the box of OMO washing powder. Wilfred Bramble, the actor was famously homosexual. Someone in set dressing was taking the piss.
Which flavour of Fairy was your favourite? 🙂
Yeah, pretty sure this happened to me in the late 70s. In the washing up bowl.
Yep. One of my earliest memories. Our kitchen was at the front of the house, so I used to look out on the street while my mum washed me like a load of dishes! Good old council house upbringing…
Yeah me and my sister were, once my brother came along in 2000 the baby baths started getting used instead !
Yes think everyone probably has photos like this.
Am I the only one slightly disappointed it’s not the same sink and kitchen tiles?
Yup. I remember being surprised my younger cousins had a special baby bath as the washing up bowl was the baby bath, make shift turtle shell and race car and what we used to make ‘play dough’ (salt dough) in.

Common, but beware, my niece’s son got burned badly when he turned the hot tap on inadvertently
I was never washed in the sink but I hope you’ll keep up the family tradition.
Common im sure lots of us have done it some time or another lol
Normal up to the 90s then everyone started getting them plastic baths for babies lol.
I’ve washed my kids in the sink when babies. Easier on my back than bending over the bath!
Definitely, with photographic evidence too!
We used to do it with my daughter in my parents place when we’d go visit on a Sunday.
Nah, more common than you think. I was a sink bathed baby for a bit.
Yes, I have a similar photo
Yes!! We have evidence of our boy being a sink baby only a few years ago!
Mum always bathed us in the sink when we were little, Nan did the same. Saves you the backache of bending down to a bath.
Just saw the top pic with the headline and thought you meant together
I too, was a sink bath baby
Yeah, sink baths were common when I was a kid, not sure why tbhz perfectly good bath in the next room but nope, in the sink
Was common when I was young.
