Type: Baby bath tub with built-in seat | Suitable from: Birth | Dimensions: 41 x 41 x 76 What we love It’s up to you. New babies don’t need a proper bath more than once a week – a top and tail will do. But as they grow, three times a week is fine. If your child loves having a bath, you might want to do it every night as part of a relaxing bedtime routine. What’s the best baby bath to buy?
Shaped like an old-fashioned metal tub, these are small baths, usually made from sturdy plastic that you can use on the bathroom floor or in your baby’s nursery. They are typically shaped to support your baby’s head and shoulders and sometimes have a built-in seat for extra comfort. Gently lower them into the water, with one hand under their bum and one arm behind their head and shoulders, supporting the arm furthest from you. Keep this arm around them while they're in the bath if you aren’t using a tub that supports them with a sling or similar. These didn’t always have good results, as one ToI story recounted, when a traveller was allowed by a friendly rail official to use one of these showers. Unfortunately, the overhead tanks emptied just as he soaped himself up, and he had the ignominy of having to get soda water from the pantry to finish his bath. Many baby baths have supports for the head and shoulders or come with a sling to keep babies secure. Gently curved supportive areas will also make the experience more comfortable for your baby. The more comfy your baby is, the more likely they are to take to bath time happily.
Why you should trust us
Maybe you’ll even sit on a bath stool and scrub your little pink toes. It teaches budgeting if you don’t have running water in the bathroom Ashenburg explains that, technically, piping water into buildings, even on higher floors, had been possible since the mid 18th century, but reluctance to bathe lead to no demand for this. It took the new medical theory, and the increasing urbanisation of the Industrial Revolution to change showering sentiments. The alternative was public baths, and this is where showers first became popular. In 1898 ToI noted, in a round-up of foreign news that “Bordeaux has for some years past had public shower baths, and now Paris is to have some of them, where the passer-by may enter and for twopence enjoy a shower-bath at any time of the day.”
We had the Nuby newborn bath. It was excellent with a built in support, smaller water capacity (good news for water bill and much lighter and easier to carry / empty)’ - recommended by Mumsnet user, Cautiouscovidity Our verdict The Shnuggle is great, especially in winter because you can fill it up deep enough to keep baby warm but using very little water (so it fills in seconds and is light to lift)" - recommended by Mumsnet user, FizzingWhizzbee123 Our verdict Because we believe parents who have been there before know best and are honest about what they like, we looked at recommendations from Mumsnet users themselves. We trawled the Mumsnet forums for posts about which baby baths they rated highly and why, and which left them a little lukewarm. This has a mesh bit for your baby to lie in until they can sit up. So they're in the water but supported, and you have your hands free” - recommended by Mumsnet user, WeaselMcWeasel Our verdict It's possible to bathe both baby and toddler at the same time with your baby in the baby bath and your toddler in the adult bath.Shopping for baby products can feel overwhelming, and when it comes to products like bathtubs which have a safety element involved, it gets stressful. Here at Mumsnet we've been dedicated to making parents' lives easier for over 20 years - that's why we do the research for you, so you can make an informed decision without the stress. We've vetted everything from the best breast pumps to the best baby bottles, as well as baby essentials like the best changing bags and sippy cups. Bath supports are usually made of a towel-type fabric or foam, whereas bath chairs are often made of plastic. The support looks like a very simple type of reclining seat with a wire frame. Your baby's head is supported above the water. Indians, meanwhile, just looked askance at the whole issue of when and how the British bathed. An article in ToI in 1927 titled ‘The Brahmin and his Baths’ explained the centrality of bathing for Hindus: “A holy Brahmin was described as ‘Tri-kal Snan-Sandhyashila’, ie, as one who was habituated to take baths thrice… A caste of Deccani Brahmins still only resides at places on the banks of rivers.” We have a blow-up bath. It’s been a lifesaver. We put it in the shower tray. We also take it on holiday when there's only a shower, and you can fly with it and inflate it when you get there’ - recommended by Mumsnet user, Windsorthewashingbasket Our verdict Some larger tubs measure more than a metre and a half in length, which is ideal if you’re tall. Others are less than a metre in length, so that they can fit into more compact spaces. You’ll also find circular tubs that are quite deep, which resemble mini jacuzzis. Whichever style of tub you go for, ensure that it’s wide enough for you to fit in comfortably and deep enough to cover enough of your body for a good soak. What else should I consider?
