That very first baby bath is such a sweet milestone. And in everyone’s baby pictures, it’s like the cutest moment ever. In real life, though, it’s kind of terrifying: there’s crying and flailing and slipping and more crying…from baby mom. It doesn’t help that there’s so many different choices in the baby bathtub aisle, each with a different size, shape and function. Isn’t a bath a bath? Not when you’re only 7 lbs. Below, our breakdown of baby bathtubs, so you can find the best one to suit your lifestyle. When you live in the city, sometimes you don’t have a bath. You can totally wash your baby in the sink if you have this genius, foldable Puj Infant Tub. Even if you do have a bath at your disposal, there’s something easy and adorable about bathing baby at a height that’s right where you arms already are. Opt for the Puj Flyte if your sink is on the small side. If you’re short on space, but still want the full bath experience, try Stokke’s Flexi Bath.

It’s lightweight, made from nontoxic plastics and has a non-slip base to prevent it from sliding around. It folds up so you can tuck it away while not in use. Don’t forget the optional Newborn Support insert for those very early days. Because, admit it, sometimes you just want baby to bathe themselves. Ok, that’s probably not going to happen, but this 4moms Infant Tub not only helps you find the perfect temperature for baby’s bath, but also drains dirty water and cycles in only fresh and clean. Plus it fits in a sink, which we already know is clutch for urban babies. We know moms that not only use their Prince Lionheart Washpod to bathe but also to comfort baby. This soothing basin enables baby to get into fetal position, replicating your womb, but with a nice soft foam insert for added comfort. Clear directions ensure babe is in just the right amount of water, and a sturdy, ergonomic shape makes it easy to use and practically impossible to tip. If your bathing strategy is less water, more baby (we don’t blame you!), Munchkin’s Clean Cradle will ease your mind.

The inclined and ergonomic basin ensures water doesn’t get in those important little holes (think eyes, ears, nose, mouth), and here’s nice high walls so you know baby’s not going anywhere. It’s also portable, sturdy and super easy to clean. We know, this doesn’t really look like a bath. But, this little Pomfitis Batya is like a relaxing raft for baby, albeit one that’s safe and supportive, keeping his cute baby head safely out of water. Think it looks like a toy? Use it as one! Once this baby bath dries out, it can totally do double duty.The Puj Tub is a Space-Saving Bath Time Solution for Infants By: Katherine Pendrill -It’s time to celebrate Baby Dekker #2 here on the blog, and what better way to do that than with a week of fun baby-related posts and giveaways! Click here to view the 12 fabulous giveaways — all geared to make life with a new baby a little simpler, more organized, and more fun! Some of you already know this — but although we have 3 full bathrooms in our house, none of them have a bathtub!  

Dave and I are both “shower” people (baths totally gross me out!) but we figured we’d need to put a bathtub in eventually once we started having kids.Savannah Cat For Sale Victoria Bc Well, we accomplished the “have kids” part… but over two years later, we still haven’t accomplished the “putting a bathtub in” part 🙂 Repair Price Pfister Single Handle Kitchen Faucet However, it really hasn’t been a big deal at all — honestly! WMade To Order Matchstick Blindse simply have a good-size blow-up tub for Nora that sits in one of our unused showers. However, this type of tub obviously won’t work for newborn babies who can’t sit up by themselves — so we needed another option.

When Nora was a baby, we borrowed an infant bathtub from a friend, but it was super bulky, awkward, and I never really loved it (but it was free so I didn’t complain). So when Angelcare reached out to me with their new Infant Tub Support, I enthusiastically said I’d love to test it out with the new baby. The only thing I was slightly concerned about was that it wouldn’t fit inside our big kitchen sink or inside Nora’s blow-up tub. However, I had no reason to be concerned as it easily fit inside both the sink and Nora’s tub! Of course, Nora thinks this is the perfect bathtub for her babies — but I’ve reiterated over and over again that once baby brother arrives, he will get to use it too. She’s pretty excited about helping me give him baths, so hopefully she won’t be too upset to lose her doll’s bathtub 🙂 Hygienic and Mildew-Resistant – The mesh material allows water to drain easily from the bath support and dries quickly. Fits Directly into Bathtub – You can place it directly into your bathtub — or if you’re like us and don’t have a bathtub, you can put it in your sink or inside your toddler’s blow-up tub!

Easy to Store – This baby bath support has a hook for convenient storage. Ergonomic Design – Ergonomically designed for your baby’s comfort and safety. Soft-touch Material: Seriously, it’s SOOO soft and just the right amount of cushiony flexibility to assure baby’s comfort. Durable, Lightweight Plastic – This bath support is designed to keep its shape over time — and I’m not exactly sure how much it weighs, but probably only a few ounces! I’m super excited to put this tiny tub to use with the new baby — and based on how clean Nora’s baby dolls have been, I’d definitely give it an A+ and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an infant tub insert!
