Bath time is cute but isn’t always fun when the baby doesn’t enjoy water but it doesn’t have to be stressful if you have the right bathtub for bath times. The safest way to use a bathtub is to have it placed low down just incase the baby jerks out of the tub there is no drop. So place the baby bath tub either inside your own bath tub which is efficient for containing the water or to lay the bathtub on the floor on top of a large towel to keep the flooring dry.

There are really a lot of styles and new shapes to choose from to suit each stage of your baby’s development the new European style baby bath tubs are designed for newborns they are made to reflect the feeling of being contained in the womb. They are designed deep and upright so the baby is sitting at an angle, they are sort of funny looking and resemble a bucket and can only be used for newborns up to 2 months old. If you choose one of these you will have to buy another larger baby bath tub a couple of months later so keep that in mind.

Larger baby bath tubs have longevity they will last from newborn until they are old enough to use the regular tub. Some models come with a partition which allows you to section off some of the tub to make it smaller and more comfortable for newborns this is a good option if you are budgeting as it will be suitable from newborn to toddler.

There are a range of baby bathtub accessories that come in very useful and are inexpensive. A baby bath tub mesh can be used in the bath tub to cradle a newborn and allow them to relax in the tub while leaving your hands free to grab a towel or some soap. The baby tub mesh is portable so it can also be used in the kitchen sink for a quick baby wash when time is tight and you don’t want to waste time moving bathtubs of water across the house. Foam bath inserts are a good option for the regular tub they give the baby a soft comfortable cushion while bathing and can be used by parents who enjoy relaxing in the tub with the baby.
