Product Details
Most babies aren't too fond of bathtime - until you introduce them to this tub! In the tub, babies feel secure as though they're back in the womb. It's comforting to the baby, and easier for you! Other benefits include being able to use the tub on tables or the floor - whichever is easier for you; and, it uses a lot less water - environmentally friendly! And, just so you know, the Spa Baby tub is made from a safe and non-toxic plastic (polypropylene). No polycarbonate, no bisphenol-A, and has no paint.

Here are some more tips for you for bathtime with your baby:
- Never leave your baby alone in the tub. If there are any interruptions to the bath, ignore the interruptions or take your baby with you.
- Make sure you have found a position for the tub that is comfortable for you and you can reach inside to the bottom of the tub easily.
- You can support your baby under their chin from their front or by reaching behind them. It should be a very gentle support you provide under their chin.
- Wash your baby from the top down, with the face first, then hair and down from there. You can do the whole bath right in the tub.
- For washing the groin area, scoop the baby and wash the groin area and then gently seat the baby back in the tub. When your baby is newborn, make sure their head is well supported on your forearm in the crook of your elbow.
- This tub is great for getting those notoriously hard to wash folds around the neck. Gently tip your baby’s head back a bit and wash under chin.
- If your baby, especially a small newborn, feels like they are hard to support in the water with just one hand under their chin, try a bit less water in the tub so they are sitting against the bottom and side of the tub. Make sure you still use enough water to keep them warm - up to their armpits should be sufficient.
- Your baby doesn’t need a bath every day. A few times a week can be plenty. Baby wash or soap can be drying on infant skin so use it sparingly.
- After using the tub, you can simply rinse it clean with water. If you’ve had “one of those baths” where you really need to clean the tub and start over, use a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser and rinse the tub really well.
