Best Answer

In the 1700s, people only took baths like once a month and in an average lower class household there was only one tub to take a bath in and everyone used the same water. The Father went first, followed by any other older male reletives, then the wife and so on down to the kids. By the end the water was so dirty that you could barely see the baby in the tub, hence the warning, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
