Product Information

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 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. Have everything ( baby shampoo, a baby towel, nappies etc) to hand first because you mustn’t leave your baby in the bath unattended, even for a second.

It's possible to bathe both baby and toddler at the same time with your baby in the baby bath and your toddler in the adult bath. Not an essential buy as many parents find they prefer using a bath support or bath chair in an adult bath (see below), or even a washing-up bowl. The best portable bathtubs you can buy in 2023 1. CO-Z Inflatable Portable Bath: Best budget portable bath

Type: Inflatable baby bath | Suitable from: 6-24 months (for babies who can sit upright) | Dimensions: 6.99 x 24.13 x 23.5 cm What we love 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? The Shnuggle is great, especially in winter because you can fill it up deep enough to keep baby warm but using very little water (so it fills in seconds and is light to lift)" - recommended by Mumsnet user, FizzingWhizzbee123 Our verdict

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. Fill the bath with 8 to 10cm of water, running the cold first and then adding hot. Make sure it’s the right temperature (37 to 38 degrees Celsius) and that there are no hot patches. However, for the price it commands, we would have expected a pump to be included. And the base of this bathtub isn’t as well padded as some others on the list, so you may want to consider adding some form of cushioning underneath to make it more comfortable. Nevertheless, it’s a spacious and deep bath that will travel extremely well. We have a blow-up bath. It’s been a lifesaver. We put it in the shower tray. We also take it on holiday when there's only a shower, and you can fly with it and inflate it when you get there’ - recommended by Mumsnet user, Windsorthewashingbasket Our verdictType: Traditional baby bathtub | Suitable from: Birth to 12 months | Dimensions: 40 X 60 X 30cm What we love 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. Type: Digital baby bath | Suitable from: Birth to 2 years old | Dimensions: ‎74 x 42.5 x 24 cm What we love 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. 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.

The Indians who really took with enthusiasm to private showers were the maharajahs, especially when they travelled by train. A ToI article from 1914 describes the special super luxury saloons built for the Maharajah of Mysore which included both a bathroom and shower bathroom, all with silver fittings: “At one side is arranged a bath with a shower overhead, allowing for numberless thin streams of water to be flowing when in use.”Thrivinger’s tub collapses to an extremely compact size, plus it’s lightweight and easy to store. We also appreciated the inclusion of a water pad for more comfort on the posterior! Be careful if you use candles. They could fall over during your bath and burn something. Don't put unsecured candles near the tub. 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.

Make sure it’s safe, solid and unlikely to tip over. Although you’ll never leave your baby in the bath, drowning can happen in a matter of seconds.

Roman Fire-Fighters:

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 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 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.
