Baby Baths

No Room for a Rubber Duck!

Advantages: makes bath time easier, water stays warm for longer, babies feel safe
Disadvantages: son outgrew the Tummy Tub at 4 months old as it was too restrictive

...Visitor told me about the Tummy Tub as she had used it to bathe her children when they were young babies. Bathing a young baby can be very fiddly and I just didn't seem to have enough hands, so I ordered the Tummy Tub from Mothercare and it cost £19.99. The Tummy Tub looks like a bucket and is a unique womb shaped clear tub, which helps your baby to relax and be calm in the familiar foetal position. As the surface area of the bath is small, the ...
...Tummy Tub can also help to make your baby feel confident and secure. The Tummy Tub has a 13cm / 5inch water mark and the water should come up to your baby's chest. If your baby is very young, for the first few weeks it is recommended that you increase the level of water so that your baby's shoulders are covered. All you need to do is adjust the level of water depending on the weight of your baby. If you baby is bigger, reduced the amount of water ...

Review of Tummy Tub

Taking the ache out of change time.

Advantages: makes changing and bath time much easier.
Disadvantages: pockets need regular wiping as they can be dust magnets

Like most new mums i began to develop a nagging backache after a long day of numerous nappy changes, bending over our standard change matt. When my fourth son came along four months ago we decided i couldn't go back to that method, i have been suffering with arthritis for some years so going back to all that leaning over and twisting to get bits and bobs just wasn't an option. We invested in the changing station and haven't looked back! it's just ...
...are wonderfully deep so you can fit numerous bits of bath and changing paraphernalia in them. The trays are large enough to be practical and you needn't be rushing all over the house for clothes when the unexpected accidents occur. The bath is also very easy to use, the matt just slides back to reveal a reasonably deep and comfortable bath. Once bath time is over emptying couldn't be easier, you can drape the hose into a bucket and let the water ...

Farm animals sticking around the bath

Advantages: good water toys

...time stickers are toys from Alex who produce many children’s toys. This set of stickers is in a mesh bag, approx 24 cm (H) x 21cm (W) This bag has suction cups that attach to loops at the top of the net bag . The suction cups make it easy to fix the bag to the bathroom tiles the mesh bag ideal to pop the stickers in after use so that they will drain and dry. You could just hang the bag up by a fabric loop that is on the top of the bag too. These ...
...thick. The dense foam has been cut to an animal shape. One surface is the plain yellow foam the other a durable coloured plasticy type with the animal features coloured on. I will be honest with you I can not remember how many animals in the bag or their size as they are at school and I am on holiday. However there are quite a lot of animals. From memory I can recall a pig , a cow, a chicken , a cat , a sheep, a horse , a tractor, some grass hillocks, ...

Review of ALEX Toys Farm Stickers

Thomas Bathtime Fun

Advantages: Keeps children distracted if they don`t like the bath!
Disadvantages: Suction on the toy is poor

My little boy loves playing in the bath but he was getting a bit bored with his usual ducks and dinosaurs. We spotted Thomas the tank bath island in Tesco`s and decided to buy it . The toy is made out of plastic which is quite sturdy and brightly coloured in green , blue , red and yellow. It is ideal for a child to learn their colours my son loves to point out green and red. It comes with a boat which you can use to pour water into the tower which ...
...windmill and a little house which can have bubbles coming out of its chimney when you press the button. There is a ramp which is a real pain as it doesn`t stay in place , the idea is you pull the signal and Thomas goes down the ramp , but as you have to attach the ramp to the toy it tends to come apart. The suction of this toy is very poor it is supposed to stick to the side of the bath but it forever comes away. My son loves to play with the ...

Review of Tomy Thomas The Tank Engine Bath Island

Lofty squirts water in the bath.

Advantages: good fun
Disadvantages: can be hard to squeeze

We have a Lofty (Bob the builder character) squirter. Lofty is great fun in the bath or paddling pool. Lofty water squirter is a pale blue, rubbery hollow shape of this Bob the builder character. He has black unmovable wheels and his ladder is not moveable either. His face has those two white eyes watching you. Watch out Lofty has been immersed in Water and my child is pointing him at you. Little hands squeeze the vehicle and a shoot of water comes ...
...plastic moulded ladder. This squirt is not too fierce. This is ok but not a particularly easy squirter to squirt. Your hands need to be able to squeeze quite hard. This toy has lasted quite well a little faded maybe but still squirts Lofty is about 10 cm (L) x 5 cm (W) x 5 cm (H) a reasonable size for little hands to grip. This water squirter is suitable for a child 18 months and over. All children love water play. Water play is not just fun ...
