Written by Jenni Gritters, a journalist with a decade of experience covering home, outdoor and parenting topics. First, there are the type of tubs that fit into your kitchen sink, assuming your sink is large enough to accommodate the tub. For these, you ideally want to have a kitchen sink faucet that is long and can be repositioned out of the way; it's also nice to have one with a wand so you can use it to fill and rinse the tub. Even without a fancy big faucet and wand, you can use bowls or cups of water to fill and rinse. Some of the sink baby bathtubs are plastic, but most are a flexible foam material to conform to several sink shapes and sizes. One big advantage of the in-sink bathtubs is that you can stand during the entire bath process, right up close to your baby. A downfall, however, is that your baby will likely grow out of the sink tub within about 4-5 months. The second type of bathtub is the more rigid, and typically larger, baby bathtub that is ideal for using on the floor, counter, table, or in your traditional bathtub. These tend to be more versatile, longer lasting (usually for about a year), and easy to use. They also likely have a drain plug on the bottom, and some have an infant insert for little babies. But when they are used on the floor or in your regular bathtub, they also involve bending way down or being on your knees for the entire bath (like kneeling beside your house tub, or next to it on the bathroom floor), which can get uncomfortable. They are also usually quite a bit larger and more rigid, so they can take up a lot of space in your bathroom or closet. For our testing, we reviewed both types of tubs, and both types ended up in our best baby bathtubs list. Baby's First Bath

We researched and tested the best baby bathtubs to find the number one option for most parents of babies, from newborns to 6-month-olds. We looked for baths that were stable, kept our kid in one spot, fit easily in a sink or tub, and felt safe and comfortable for our baby. In the end, we landed on the Skip Hop Moby 3-Stage Smart Sling Tub For the first week or two after birth, we suggest only hand-washing with a washcloth or sponge to gently wipe away anything on your baby. This gives your baby's skin some time to acclimate to its new environment, and time for the umbilical cord to fully dry and fall off. Once that umbilical cord has fallen off and the area looks completely healed (no redness, puss, or rash), you might be ready to venture into your first newborn bathtime! This can be an exciting and sometimes hectic experience, depending on your baby's temperament. Some babies will love the bath, and some will freak out. Don't panic if your baby doesn't like the first couple baths, they'll get used to it and likely will end up really enjoying them. It's a great sensory experience for your baby, and great bonding time with mom or dad. Once you get into the swing of giving baths, you'll want to bathe your baby about 3 times a week or so until they start crawling and getting themselves a bit dirty. A bath can be a great way to wind down before bedtime, so keep that in mind as a possible strategy and routine. Now that you're ready to try out the first bath, be sure you have everything you need before you start. A comprehensive step-by-step guide with instructions on how to give your baby a first bath can be found at the bottom of this article! Step 4: Here's where the fun begins. Depending on your tub type, you'll want to put a couple (2-3") inches of warm water into the tub. You want it to be warmer than the room temperature, but not feel hot when you touch it to your wrist. The ideal temperature is right around 92 to 93 degrees (F), or 33 to 34 degrees (C), which isn't quite as warm as a warmed baby bottle. If you're worried about water temperature, definitely get yourself a thermometer (like one of our best baby thermometers!) to help you out. We don't suggest putting in any soap yet as that could create a lot of bubbles that baby will end up getting in his/her mouth.When your baby is a little older, a baby bath seat may be a better choice than a more traditional tub.

You should be able to use both hands to reach all of their parts for cleaning, and your baby should stay still and supported in the bath while you’re washing them, versus sliding down close to the water’s surface. Step 1: Spread out a hooded towel that you will use to lay your baby onto after the bath. Good places to do this include the floor, changing table, or bed. Next to it, place a fresh diaper, and any clothes you want to put on after the bath. You might also want to put a binky or little toy there too, just in case. UP TO 50% OFF: Savings based on MSRP.

The Skip Hop Moby 3-Stage Smart Sling Tub was one of the most comfortable baby baths we tested, largely because of a mesh sling that can be set up to accommodate a newborn in a full-recline position as well as a just-learning-to-sit baby in a partial recline position. You can also remove the sling entirely for a baby who can sit upright. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics ( AAP), a newborn baby should be bathed about three times a week. Bathing isn't just about getting clean, it's also a great sensory experience for infants, and many parents agree that it can be a soothing part of a bedtime routine. Once your little one starts crawling, sweating, and getting into messes, you will need to start bathing them more often - maybe on a near-daily basis!
