My dh filled the tub up tonight to put dd in after a serious blow out. I got down next to the tub with her already in it and was blown away by the smell of chlorine!!!
I worked as a lifeguard when I was first married and always washed the chlorine off, my dd has to have this on her skin b/c it it the tap water that is smelling so chlorinated tonight. This is so wrong on so many levels!
The happens every once in a while, but never this strong -- my eyes were burning. I am calling the city tomorrow to voice a complaint. Earlier this week I thought it was strong when I was brushing my teeth.
Poor dd she loves baths and this one had just started when I rinsed her bumm really quick and pulled her out.
What can one do to neutralize the chlorine when this does happen? Anything?

We filter drinking water anyway, but I don't think there's much to do for bathing short of installing a filter for the whole system. For a small bath for a wee one where you don't need much water, maybe you could boil the water? Chlorine boils out, at least the smell does.
