Baby bath recommendations?
Hi ladies, does anyone have any bath recommendations? I was all set on getting a fisher price aquarium bath that has the sling support but after reading a few reviews that say because the baby isn't actually in the water as such , it gets cold very quickly, it's put me off it.
I really want one that has some sort of support so that we don't have to constantly hold the baby up but there are so many and alot (to my paranoid head :roll seem like they may actually hurt the baby due to the hard plastic shapes
I like the look of the slingback support seats as well but alot don't seem the right size to fit into a baby bath.
So as you can see I need some help!
Thanks ladies!

We bought a foam bath support for LO and it was great, it held him in place leaving us hands free and was just as easy to use in the big bath x
good luck with the rest of your pregnancyx

He went in the lying down part from birth and that kept my hands free to clean him. He now sits up in the other end and plays away with his toys.
It also saves on water using a baby bath as you don't need to fill the big bath up every time. It's only now we are thinking about starting to use the normal bath.

You can always use a washing up bowl if your desperate for a baby bath in the early days! Loads cheaper, smaller and more useful after you're baby is too big! : -D
i had a bath support similar to the towelling one (though it was like a light weight fabric). It was good for laying baby on in a baby bath, but I fould that both mine preferred for my to just support their head and neck as they got bigger so they had more freedom to splash around.
Baby baths are good, but easier to use with a stand and some babies outgrow them really quickly!
Our MIL bought it for us and I thought, wow it's so big but I just leave it in our normal bath when we aren't using it. Our baby has had lot's of use out of it. I would definately reccommend it
