I do bath time very similiar except I use Aveno because of what was mentioned above about shampoos being drying to the skin. I make sure the water is not deeper than his ankles on the shallow end of the tub and put him on a non slip surface. I wash him with my hands now that he trusts me (used a toothbrush gentally for the quills on a few spots his first bath), rinse with a big cup of clean water making sure to keep away from his face, head and ears and snuggle in a cloth towel I made for him until completely dry. Mine falls asleep now so I just switch him to something dry after that lol

Sounds like your little guy had a pretty good first time bath though and I'm sure he loved the spa treatment
