Product Information

All this was seen as good and healthful, but best avoided by those who had the space, and servants, for tub baths. If you have a heater in the bathroom, turn it on to make sure the temperature outside the bath water isn't jarringly cold. Running the bath with the bathroom door closed can also help create a warm environment. Ensure the heater doesn't get wet. Some larger tubs measure more than a metre and a half in length, which is ideal if you’re tall. Others are less than a metre in length, so that they can fit into more compact spaces. You’ll also find circular tubs that are quite deep, which resemble mini jacuzzis. Whichever style of tub you go for, ensure that it’s wide enough for you to fit in comfortably and deep enough to cover enough of your body for a good soak. What else should I consider? 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. In 1865 a Bombay report had been greeted by ToI with cautious approval, though the paper ridiculed its plans of showers that had to be filled by individual pumps. (One patent design from that era had the bather working a pump with a step machine, so he had the benefit of exercise as he bathed).

You can buy baby baths that are a bit like mini paddling pools. These can then sit inside your full-sized bathtub or on your bathroom floor. That depends on the bath product. Some bath supports or sink inserts are only big enough to last until around six months, while others can be used all the way up to six years of age. Once a baby can sit unaided, many parents move onto a non-slip bath mat. Types of baby bathType: Bathtub with sling insert | Suitable from: Birth to 6 months+ | Dimensions: 70 x 48 x 29 What we love The tub is made from plastic, which means insulation is good; you can expect water to stay hot for up to an hour. In addition, the included cover will obviously also help to keep the heat in for a more luxurious soak. With one-step folding, the tub is easy to store and transport, collapsing to an impressively compact size. You can use the bathtub with the upper cover open or zipped up; the latter is ideal for keeping the water warmer for longer in colder weather. A few users have commented that the stopper is a little stiff to put in, so make sure you’ve attached it firmly. 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. If you’re pregnant, a baby bath may well feature somewhere on your newborn essentials list. You can certainly get by without one (and many parents have), but first-time parents often say they find a mini bath or bath seat useful for taking some of the worry out of handling a slippery baby. The best baby baths will allow your baby to enjoy bath time as they'll be able to freely play and relax in the water - and you’ll, in turn, enjoy it more too.

The problem seems to have been that the promotion of showers for public baths had not helped their image. They were also advocated for soldiers, prisoners, inmates of mental asylum – and also as part of hydropathy, a health treatment that involved being submerged and then showered in water, and wrapped in wet sheets. Maybe you’ll even sit on a bath stool and scrub your little pink toes. It teaches budgeting if you don’t have running water in the bathroom 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? Type: Baby bath sink insert | Suitable from: Newborn to 12 months (max 9kg) | Dimensions: 53 x 38 x 15cm folded; 53 x 38 x 30cm unfolded What we love We 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.Type: Digital baby bath | Suitable from: Birth to 2 years old | Dimensions: ‎74 x 42.5 x 24 cm What we love 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

Bath supports are usually made of a towel-type fabric or foam, whereas bath chairs are often made of plastic. The support looks like a very simple type of reclining seat with a wire frame. Your baby's head is supported above the water.Two years later ToI described another saloon built for the maharajah of Dholpur. Again, this had a shower with silver fittings, but now with a gas-powered heater for a warm bath. It was of particular pride, ToI noted, that this saloon had been built entirely in India: “It is practically a swadeshi railway carriage…” Other important factors to be aware of are the weight of a portable tub and how easily it folds down. If your portable bathtub is for your home, then its weight won’t be such an important consideration. But if it’s for taking with you on trips, then you’ll want something that is easily transportable and doesn’t weigh too much. Note that the material from which the portable bathtub is made will also impact on its weight. Ashenburg explains that, technically, piping water into buildings, even on higher floors, had been possible since the mid 18th century, but reluctance to bathe lead to no demand for this. It took the new medical theory, and the increasing urbanisation of the Industrial Revolution to change showering sentiments.
