Tummy Tubs - your opinions?
Hello ladies,
As we don't have a bath in our house, I am looking at baby baths, and a Tummy Tub has been suggested to me.
I've watched the promo video on the Tummy Tub website, and although it looks a little strange, I can see the logic in it!
I was just wondering what you ladies thought if you had one?
I'm between a tummy tub and a normal baby bath.
Thanks ladies

It's not that easy to bath him in it on my own but normally bath him with hubby anyway so not a problem. And we have a bath support for getting in the big bath with him. It's fab for explosive poo emergencies as you can fill it in a couple of minutes and it must save loads of water too. I love that you can see his little feet and stuff through it too. Should last him a good while yet and he is a big fat pudding at 17 pounds already!

She was in it from a week old (she was nearly 9lbs so quite a sturdy girl!) and i put her in the big bath at 12 weeks - i think she was about 11lbs then. She could have stayed in it longer but she was a splasher and had more room in the big bath!
Here is a pic of my lo in hers

He grew out of it quickly tho - so maybe a more conventional bath might be better suited?

We have just moved him into the big bath (he is 16 weeks old), as he kept trying to put his feet over his head in the tummy tub! Which was funny, but slightly dangerous when he was all slippery!
I would definitely recommend it.

However I was not confident bathing LO on my own so me and OH always did it together so one could hold him and one could wash him. in those days we didn't really have a set routine though so it didn't matter what time bathtime was. I still use it now to dunk LO's bottom half after a particularly bad nappy
