Every now and then i come across something that i want to tell people about because i love it so much! This is one of those occasions. We first came across the Tummy Tub with Ruby was about 6 months old (she was a little one!) and loved it right away. This time around we have used it from the beginning and now we DEFINITELY love it!
Firstly i will explain what it is for the newby’s
- it’s a bucket shaped baby bath that makes the newborn bub feel as though they are back in the womb. It uses a much less water and keeps that water at a comfortable temp far longer then your usual baby bath.
Jasper loved his daily TT from the time we left hospital (i’ll be taking it with me to hospital if there is a next time) The content look that fell over his face once i placed him into the tub was amazing! It settled him so much, it was the integral part of our bedtime routine. I also believe that it aided in getting rid of wind and preventing colic. I must admit at times it could have resembled a bubble bath
There was another massive plus for me in using the TT. Jasper was / is a wriggle worm and feed times often resembled a weird form of baby yoga… but after a bath in his tub he was so relaxed he had the best feed of the day, and i knew at bed time i had one content little man!
Jasper wasn’t the only one who loved his TT! I loved it not only cause i had a content bubba afterwards but also because it uses HEAPS less water then the conventional baby baths and i could place the bath in the kitchen sink and place the change mat and all the supplies on the bench beside me – so the added bonus was no bending! Once bath time was finished the water ended up on the garden!
It’s definitely on my ‘must have’ baby item list.
Here are some of my favorite snaps of Jasper enjoying his tummy tub time!
