This will of course depend on your lifestyle, budget and home. We hope our list gives you some options of what could work for you and your baby. We chose the Shnuggle Baby Bath as the best baby bath of 2023 as it’s lightweight, easy, comfy, can be used anywhere and popular with Mumsnetters. How we choose our recommendations Make sure it’s safe, solid and unlikely to tip over. Although you’ll never leave your baby in the bath, drowning can happen in a matter of seconds.

Even in villages where they don’t have bathrooms and take bath at the well or at the handpump, they prefer this type of arrangement. The Shnuggle is great, especially in winter because you can fill it up deep enough to keep baby warm but using very little water (so it fills in seconds and is light to lift)" - recommended by Mumsnet user, FizzingWhizzbee123 Our verdict We have a blow-up bath. It’s been a lifesaver. We put it in the shower tray. We also take it on holiday when there's only a shower, and you can fly with it and inflate it when you get there’ - recommended by Mumsnet user, Windsorthewashingbasket Our verdict We had the Nuby newborn bath. It was excellent with a built in support, smaller water capacity (good news for water bill and much lighter and easier to carry / empty)’ - recommended by Mumsnet user, Cautiouscovidity Our verdictType: Bath support | Suitable from: Birth to 6 months | Dimensions: 33.5 x 58.5 X 22.5cm What we love Many baby baths have supports for the head and shoulders or come with a sling to keep babies secure. Gently curved supportive areas will also make the experience more comfortable for your baby. The more comfy your baby is, the more likely they are to take to bath time happily. Fill the bath with 8 to 10cm of water, running the cold first and then adding hot. Make sure it’s the right temperature (37 to 38 degrees Celsius) and that there are no hot patches.

Strip your baby down to their nappy and wrap them in a towel while you first wash their face and then hair, leaning them over the bath. Dry their hair off gently with the towel, then remove their nappy, clean the nappy area and get ready to lift them into the bath. Down at the water spigot on the highway in far outer lower Puna, U.S.A. this is also the norm. As well as up at the cow sanctuary north of Hilo. I actually saw the swami doing this behind a gas station on the highway in San jose…well I wasnt watching , but u know…we were on the road.. and bathing is necessary. Type: Digital baby bath | Suitable from: Birth to 2 years old | Dimensions: ‎74 x 42.5 x 24 cm What we love Shopping for baby products can feel overwhelming, and when it comes to products like bathtubs which have a safety element involved, it gets stressful. Here at Mumsnet we've been dedicated to making parents' lives easier for over 20 years - that's why we do the research for you, so you can make an informed decision without the stress. We've vetted everything from the best breast pumps to the best baby bottles, as well as baby essentials like the best changing bags and sippy cups. This has a mesh bit for your baby to lie in until they can sit up. So they're in the water but supported, and you have your hands free” - recommended by Mumsnet user, WeaselMcWeasel Our verdictWe liked the design of this bath, with its grooved base helping to soothe tired limbs. It’s available in blue and pink options, and is big enough to bathe all the kids in one go! Do be aware that its size means it will take longer to drain than some of the others on our list, so you’ll need to factor in time for that when out and about.

Shaped like an old-fashioned metal tub, these are small baths, usually made from sturdy plastic that you can use on the bathroom floor or in your baby’s nursery. They are typically shaped to support your baby’s head and shoulders and sometimes have a built-in seat for extra comfort. Most Indian bathrooms are “wet rooms” so the water goes everywhere. There isn’t always a designated shower area. To avoid getting water everywhere, you can squeegee after. Many bathrooms have small ones in there already.Type: Inflatable baby bath | Suitable from: 6-24 months (for babies who can sit upright) | Dimensions: 6.99 x 24.13 x 23.5 cm What we love Our Mumsnetters seem to like this bath seat and the Angelcare brand is appreciated amongst parents - that’s why it’s on our list twice! It’s got lots of handy functions too. There are drain holes in the seat so bath water can pass through as you rinse your little one and suction cups to hold it secure. Type: Baby bath tub with built-in seat | Suitable from: Birth | Dimensions: 41 x 41 x 76 What we love
