About bathtubs for newborns

A baby bathtub is an essential item for many new parents. While some parents use a sink to bathe their newborn babies, a newborn bathtub is an ideal choice as it provides more space for both the parent and the baby. Bathtubs for infants are safe and durable with colorful features and designs. It is often made out of lightweight polypropylene which is generally considered safer plastic. The bottom of a baby bathtub often has non-slip materials, or suction cups, to prevent slipping during bath time. These bathtubs are generally small because a newborn baby does not need a large amount of water. In addition to designs, a bathtub for newborns can be collapsible, meaning that it is portable and highly convenient for family trips. A collapsible bathtub has additional folding legs that are slip-resistant and can be slightly higher than a traditional baby bathtub. These folding baby bathtubs are suitable for infants up to 12 months old. Another popular type is an inflatable baby bathtub. They are portable and suitable for summertime and are only recommended for babies of 6 months and older.

Care and cautions when using a newborn bathtub

Users should never leave the room while their newborn baby is having a bath. Another important reminder is that infants can drown in about one inch of water; therefore, parents should prepare beforehand. They should have all essential bath items and baby clothes before bath time. Also, they should always keep one hand on the baby while he or she is in the water. After a bath, the bathtub should be set upside down. Use a microfiber cloth to clean the bathtub. To avoid mold and mildew, vinegar is highly suggested for cleaning the bathtub and drainage holes because it is a non-toxic disinfectant solution.

About baby bath seats

It is strongly recommended to new parents that a newborn baby under 4 months old does not need a bath seat. Babies that are about 4 months old and up, which is when they can sit up, can use a baby bath seat. It is a bath support item designed to work well with most baby bathtubs. There are many designs for an infant bath seat such as the shape of a car seat, or the backrest of the seat having colorful animal images. A more practical baby bath seat consists of drainage holes and the backrest is curved to support the baby's spine. The choices are flexible and varied depending on how parents spend their time with their infants and how many bath toys they use.
