So you have brought your little bundle of joy home from the hospital, and the umbilical cord stump has fallen off. Finally, it is time for his or her first real bath! But excitement often fades to trepidation when you realize that somehow you are supposed to combine your little squirmy with slippery soap suds. This is where a baby bathtub can be immensely useful.
Until baby is able to sit up on his or her own power, taking a bath in the adult tub can be a hassle and even dangerous. Some parents will try getting in the tub with baby, but this also has its own risks - one slip and baby could bump his or her head or drown. And trying to lean over the edge of the tub to scrub all those tiny baby parts is very hard on the back. Baby bathtubs can often allow you to bath baby on a counter top, table, or in the kitchen sink securely.

Bathtub options
You will find that there is a wide variety of baby bathtubs for you to choose from. Some may be made of a hard plastic, others may be folded for compact storage, and some are even inflatable. Many are designed with features that help cradle baby in a comfortable position during the bath. You may even find one that will fit inside your regular tub or the changing table if your home is short on space.
For this baby purchase, there is really no wrong answer - you can simply choose the baby bathtub that appeals most to you. The most basic of tubs will simply be a large tub that holds water. Others will include a wide variety of features designed to make baby more comfortable or mom and dad's job easier.
Points to consider
When shopping for a baby bathtub, there are a few points to consider:
- If looking at a plastic tub, make sure that it is thick and sturdy. The tub will need to hold both baby's weight (and remember you will probably be using it until baby is at least 6 months) and the weight of the water while bathing.
- If you are tight on space, a folding tub may be easier to store. However, many parents do not feel that these baby bathtubs are as sturdy as ones that do not fold up for storage.
- Some baby bathtubs are designed for use from infancy into toddlerhood. Some parents like these because the adjustable features allow them to use the tub longer, allowing them to prolong the time when they have to put their child into the adult tub.
- Keep in mind that moisture left in the baby bathtub can lead to mold and mildew. A plug at the base of the baby bathtub will make it easier for water to drain out when bath time is finished.
Inspect the baby bathtub thoroughly before use. Watch for sharp edges and rough spots that could scratch or cut baby while bathing.
