Baby baths
in Baby
Hiya!
Hope you don't mind me gatecrashing from due in Sept! Need to get my act together and get a bath for bubs and was just wondering if anyone could recommend one?
A work pal has suggested the Tummy Tubs but to be honest, i am not sure! looks like you are bathing bubs in a bucket!!
Any advice would be most welcome!!!

We used one of these;

It folds down so easy too store too x
I used a bath seat in the main bath from the off, until lo sat up himself then just took that away and he went straight into normal bath
those tubs are supposed to mimic how they sit in the womb but I think they look bloody uncomfortable!!
I didn't go for one of those tubs. I couldn't understand how you would be able to comfortably wash lo's bits!
Also another friend that always got in bath with baby and used it as bonding time until they were able to sit on their own.
We had a baby bath and a bath support. We used it for ages until baby was to big. Personally as a 1st time mum I didn't like to use the big bath in bathroom, even if Id only used baby bath for a few weeks i would have felt more confident handling baby in little bath than in big bath.
We used top and tail bowl lots too.
Just goes to sho everyone is different and some use things more than others eh? S x
This is the flannel thingy which I thought was really good, inexpensive and didn't take up a lot of room, these things all seem to be expensive and last for such a short amount of time I will probably just get one of these. Hope that helps.

Then I bought a deluxe baby bath support thing which was rubbish as it was quite small anyway and you have to run a full bath so it wasted too much water.
At the minute we just lay Riley in the bath with a flannel under is head and he's happy with that and he likes laying down as he can splash about but I might but one of those sponges to lay him on. x

we have these 2 from mamas and papas. grace is now 14 months old and we still use them.
the support is great for getting her hair washed as she lays back

You used to be able to get them everywhere but I think there were a lot of accidents with people thinking they could leave the baby in there unsupervised so they are harder to find and more expensive now.

and i think that it is one of the best things we have bought. The picture isnt very clear and its bigger than it looks in the picture (i can fit my bum into the 'toddler end' LOL curiosity got the better of me)..but at one side it has a 'slant' the lay baby on with a little nobbly bit that you put babys legs at either side...then when ciara is bigger she will sit at the opposite side which doesnt have a slanted back support but the 'nobble' will still make sure she doesnt slip down...its quite big so hopefully it will last a while..i totally love it and use it every night..worth every penny in my opinion! I do like the individual bath supports but i didnt want to have to fill the whole bath..(even though it would only be shallow)..
