The baby's tub should be spacious and comfortable.
In an anatomical one with a built-in slide, it is handy to bathe without assistance. The baby lies in the correct position and will not slip, thanks to the axillary and inguinal support points. Water will not get into the ears, and the body will be in the water. The filling level can be adjusted: optimal - up to the armrests. When you learn to sit, you can place it on the opposite side of the slide. The legs will rest against the base and the baby will not dive into the water.
If you bathe in a regular baby bath, you first need your dad's hands to hold the head. The water level in the bath should not exceed seven centimeters for bathing a newborn. But when the baby grows up, it will be more spacious for him to move in the water. And you are calmer: protect yourself from the excitement that the child will hit the ledges. A separately purchased slide will help to cope with the task “not to gulp in water”, and for older children - a seat. They do not slip in water, being tenaciously attached with suction cups to the inner surface.
The "mother's tummy" bath has a bowl-like shape and high sides. In it, the newborn is comfortable, he lies in the usual position, as if inside the womb, and feels protected. The only inconvenience for parents is that you need to adapt to bathing in it.
Which bath is better to buy
Decoctions of herbs or a solution of potassium permanganate in which you bathe your child, leave plaque on the walls of the bath. Plastic is easier to clean than iron or inflatable. If its walls are covered with an antiseptic (microban), you do not have to disinfect it before bathing. Microban kills bacteria.
How to choose the right baby bath
- A baby bathtub with a drain is easier to empty. You do not need to scoop water from it or strain to turn it over and drain. This detail makes life easier for parents, eliminating routine.
- Trays with an anti-slip (embossed) bottom are good for the safety of the baby, they are not slippery.
- It is convenient to bathe your baby in a bathtub with a built-in thermometer. No need to guess, measuring with your elbow, the degree of hotness: 37 ° C is the most comfortable water temperature for the baby.
- Bath supports or folding supports should be with rubber inserts.
