Tummy Tub

[Blah11]

Anyone else think these are a bit... dodgy. I don't want to use the word cruel but idk how anyone could put their baby in a bucket to bathe them

 

[~KACI~]

My friend used one for the first 12weeks, she said it was brill, her LO didn't cry when being bathed because she felt enclosed like she was still in the womb,

I think as long as the child isn't too big they're alrite, also keeps all of them warm rather then part of their body being exposed to the chill x

Friend has the same basically what KACI says.

I've got a pic of Lauren in her own washing up bowl in the kitchen sink and also one of her in the tiny bathroom sink

She was sooooooooo tiny that she was swamped in a baby bath and I found them too heavy anyway....not sure about a bucket though

i saw those in mothercare, market ploy if you ask me, i used to put rosie in the sink bowl sometimes for quickness, easier on the back as well.

They've got raving reviews and they are more than just a bucket, the way they're shaped and stuff. A couple of my friends swear by them, so that's enough for me!

 

[princessellie]

ooh i saw these, i thought they looked a bit odd like, didnt pay much attention though cos already had my bath

 

[sparkswillfly]

I posted about those a while ago... the pictures make me laugh

 

[Logiebear]

I hate those things Good call on the washing up boel Hevs, been there, done that

 

[KatienSam]

i think it looks weird but apparently babies love them!! its to mimic the womb and they feel safe (like a swadle blanket does).

 

[LongRoadAhead]

Ooo is that one of them bucket looking baths?
Iv seen them on a few websites, And no offence to anybody whos got one, I would never use one. The baby looks all squashed in them, And how can you wash him/her properly when the limbs are all tangled?
Iv already braught the winnie the pooh bathing range from mothercare
XX

 

[tiggertea]

I personally don't like the look of em.....
each to their own though i say!

 

[Blah11]

I can understand the whole mimicing the womb but I think it just looks SO awkward I'm nervous enough about bathing her without making it even more tricky.

 

[JayleighAnn]

I think they look so cute and snuggled in them lol we're getting one

 

[polo_princess]

I dont really think its any different to washing your baby in a washing up bowl or a bucket etc ... thats what they did in the old days, even 20 years ago when i was a baby i was washed in the kitchen sink.

I wouldnt buy one for the fact of how much it costs for basically a bucket lol, id buy one from the pound shop if i really wanted to wash my LO that way lol

 

[Neecee]

I don't think I'd be forking out for a glorified bucket either! They've spent all that time scrunched up in the womb, let them experience a world without sides I say!

Im planning on doing the washing up bowl thing, they are so small at first and fit nicely into one.
The baby baths at hospital are no bigger than a washing up bowl.
