I love that it uses less eater and that it stays warm for so long. Normally my babies hate bathing, but this saved the day. Thanks Tummy Tub for making a great product!

I recently got a Tummy Tub for my baby. Now I will admit the first time I saw a Tummy Tub was a couple of years ago and I thought it was quite odd.

Over the years I have had a hard time finding a good bath time solution for my babies. First I have very large babies (my biggest was 11 lbs at birth). The infant tub I have I received when I was having my first child. Its neat in that the top and bottom fold over for storage so its smalle5 and takes up less space. But in order to accomodate that design, your useable water space is quite small. When I would add one of my mammoth size babies in it inevitably the water would rise enough to leak out those spaces enabling it to fold. Plus it was really hard to use any of the water as the baby filled the tub leaving this small amount of water underneath them…somewhere. Also, most of the baby was hanging out of the water, naked and cold.

After trying a couple other bath time solutions I am so thrilled to have found the Tummy Tub now. I wondered, however, how baby take to this new tub since she was 4 months old when I got it. Is it something they have to be used to since their first bathings? My baby LOVES her Tummy Tub. She pulls up her legs and chews her foot, she splashes and kicks her legs up, she pulls up to stand and jumps back down (my other children like to refer to this move as the “tidal wave” as it does create quite the splash!) and occasionally she just sits back and enjoys the water surrounding her.

I love that she is covered with water all the way up to her shoulders. She stays warm. She stays happy. I love that it takes barely any water at all to acheive that too. I let the water run into the Tummy Tub for maybe 3 seconds and its filled. Its takes that little. I can carry the filled tub with one hand no straining to put it where ever I choose to bathe the baby. Its so easy to dump out the water after the bath too since its so light.

My husband likes to make fun of the Tummy Tub. He calls it a bucket or will ask “are you going to put her in her garbage can for her bath?” But even he can not deny the girl LOVES that tub.

I would LOVE to have the stand for the Tummy Tub. That would make it really nice.

I really like mine. I got it at Walmart. It has some cubbie holes, a hook so you can hang it, and it came with a sling, which is good for when baby is too small to sit up, you can lie her/him in the sling and wash baby. Also, it fitw on to the kitchen sink. I’ve heard some people have an issue with slings and getting moldy but I never had a problem. As long as you leave it in an area where it can dry out you’ll be fine. Here’s a link to the one I got. It’s also yellow so its good for either sex. I have no complaints. My baby still fitw at 10 months but for practicality I no longer use it at his age, but it does fit him. I bought it so it fitw older and smaller so you don’t have to buy two when he/she outgrows it.

EDIT: I’ll add that personally I prefer adult towels for my baby over the baby towels. I love robes with hoods, those are good. But I find the baby towels aren’t that absorbent and I usually have to use two to dry baby off. I just dry his head off quickly and use the big towel. I find they quickly outgrow the little ones too- you can’t entirely cover them up while you’re getting them dressed again.
