The Tummy Tub was one of last week’s Black Friday giveaways, and I think it’s one of the greatest newborn products around. Bathing is one of my least favorite things about having a newborn because it’s hard to keep them warm and comfortable in traditional baby bathtubs.
The Tummy Tub is so great because it simulates the womb and is a familiar environment for a baby – it’s wet, warm, and kind of cramped! It helps babies to make the strange transition from being in to being out.
It’s so easy to fill up with water because it’s just like a bucket. It’s easy to carry when full and doesn’t spill out everywhere. It’s also just the right size and shape to fit on the table or in the kitchen sink so you don’t have to bend over and kill your back.
And it uses very little water. We fill ours up about 8-10 inches – that doesn’t seem like it would be enough, but when you put baby in there, the water level raises up to mid chest which is perfect.
