Shouldn´t that be:
Don´t throw the baby out with the bathwater?

There is a web site called proverbgenerator.com, and if you click on that link, it gives you the first half of some proverb and the second half of some other proverb. It is a "proverb combiner", so to say.

It delivers results like "When the going gets tough, make lemonade."

I like to post some of the results that this web site presents to me, just because they're funny (in my oppinion). YMMV.

"Not to worry, dogs don't. They pee anywhere."
Possibly my mum's invention.
Sometimes she'd top it with "..... said the old woman as she peed in the ocean."
