As we are parents ourselves, we understand the difficulties that come with bathing your newborn. Over the years, we have tried and tested a variety of baby bathtubs and supports and found that both have their uses. 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. We will, however, communicate with your pushchair manufacturer on your behalf to help ensure a smooth and efficient repair service. That’s why we’ve rounded up the best baby bath tubs available at the moment and categorised them for you. Anything to make life with a newborn easier! All you have to do is decide on the feature that’s the most important to you and you’ll have a baby bath selected for you.

Type: Baby bath tub with built-in seat | Suitable from: Birth | Dimensions: 41 x 41 x 76 What we love As long as you have a family tub or even a kitchen sink, you don’t need a baby bath. However, they do make bath time easier for parents, especially in the first few months. How much does a baby bathtub cost? Using a baby bathtub with some kind of support and a non-slip floor helps with this, but if you don’t have one with those features, just keep one arm behind their head and shoulders at all times, with your hand supporting them. How often should you bathe a baby? This white and grey tub from Nuby can be used from birth, and we particularly love the built in seat that makes this bath safe for newborns and leaves your hands free to wash your baby properly. Water level indicator: helps to ensure the optimal level of water in your bath. Durable & Lightweight: Made with durable lightweight plastic which is designed to keep its shape

What to look for in a baby bath Fill the bath with 8 to 10cm of water, running the cold first and then adding hot.

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 verdict

Perhaps it doesn’t fit your requirements as expected, you’ve had a change of plans or you’ve simply changed your mind. Perfect for ages 9 months and older, the cups can even help teach hand-eye coordination, numbers, and colors. Parents say these cups provide tons of entertainment and can be played with outside of the tub, too. For example, at home, we prefer to use the support within our family bath but if we go away where we are unsure if there is a suitable bath, the standalone alternative is the perfect solution. Using a flannel, muslin, sponge or your hand, clean your baby gently from top to bottom. You don’t need to use any soap for a new baby.
