The Original Tummy Tub Baby Bath – Clear








Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2B83LTKTUAKA Every since I saw the Tummy Tub on The Today Show back in May last year, I was very intrigued about it. I was amazed to see all these cute little babies in these clear bucket-type tubs. Being that I have recently had a baby, I wanted to try it out and see if it was really worth all the hype. At first all I knew about the Tummy Tub was that it used less water, mimicked the womb, and was easily transportable. However as I researched and used the product, I found out a lot more about its benefits.
(From the Tummy Tub USA website) “For nine months your baby feels safe, comfortable and secure in the womb. After birth everything changes for your baby, who suddenly experiences bright lights, new sights and sounds, hunger, gravity and an ever-changing world. The TummyTub® has been developed in cooperation with physicians, midwives and nursery nurses, to ease the transition from the secure environment of the womb to the new world. The unique womb shape helps your baby to relax, and become calm in the familiar fetal position. The benefits of the Tummy Tub are acknowledged in maternity hospitals and homes throughout Europe.”
When I first got the Tummy Tub and read the instructions, I was a little hesitant if I was going to be able to bathe my baby correctly the first time. I found it very important to read the instructions thoroughly because once the baby is in the Tummy Tub, you have to hold and support the baby’s head. It was imperative that I had everything I was going to need within arms length to reach it with my free hand.
My son happens to have acid reflux and lots of gas. Sometimes he can get very fussy and uncomfortable. The Tummy Tub seemed to instantly sooth and relax my baby when I placed him in it. He really enjoyed all the water and while sometimes liking the fetal position, he also really liked trying to stand in the tub, which I guess is quite common. Washing the baby can seem a little hard at first but I found the suggestion of placing a little soap directly into the water and going from top down useful. I also really liked how warm the water stayed. All in all, I found that each time I used the Tummy Tub, it got easier and I felt more comfortable bathing my baby. One thing that I think really sets the Tummy Tub apart from other infant tubs is that it is very eco-friendly.
Some of the other perks of the Tummy Tub are: (from the website)
· Baby feels warm, safe, and relaxed within soft boundaries
· Eases indigestion, gas, and colic while calming baby
· Stimulates cognitive and physical development
· Ultra lightweight, easy on your back
· Meets the most stringent safety regulations worldwide
· Phthalate, BPA, lead free
· Uses less water, energy, and space than traditional baby tubs
· The optional stand raises baby to a comfortable sitting position and doubles as a stool, with clever design for storage inside
· Fully recyclable
I enjoy my Tummy Tub and would recommend it to parents especially those with colicky babies. If you are interested in buying one, I highly suggest going to the Tummy Tub USA website and researching it, as well as watching some of the many videos available to view. You will be amazed at some of the wonderful things this product has to offer!

I was given a tummy tub as a gift, and since have ordered it for two other people. My son was not thrilled about taking a bath when he had to be on his back in a regular baby bath, since we starting using the tummy tub bath time is a wonderful time for both of us. The water stays warmer longer, and it is much easier to get him in and out of. I also have one of the stools and it is so nice to be able to sit and give him a bath instead of bending over into the tub. I recommend this item for anyone baby. It also helps my little one sleep better at night. The tummy tub has become the one baby item I would not give up. I love it.

So, glad I bought this!!! Wish I had it when my little one was first born. Just found out about it and will use it from the beginning with the next one. My toddler was 20 months when I introduced this. 1st time use was 30 mins.! Here is some things I noticed. He was born preemie and gets very cold quick even now. At swim class he is the only one who has to wear a wet suit that covers his thighs and upper arms with an additional wet suit over the top that is like a singlet. He loves the water but can’t stay in the bath long before he has to get out. So, that is why the 30 mins was such a surprise. I felt the water and it was not warm after less than 10 mins. but he was fine. I didn’t get his head wet but rather let him soak with the water to his arm pits. His body was in fetal position so this helps to keep warmth in. He had a perma grin the entire time so I think that there were happy endorphins being released that were also keeping him warm. I would get the stand. I did and I am happy to have saved my back especially sitting there so long for him to be done. I just got a little foot stool and sat there with him. I had him in our room which has carpet and I took a chance just putting a towel down. He loves to splash but surprising he didn’t do much of that. Instead he wanted to just be content. I had a video playing that he loves and he really enjoyed himself. It takes such little water as well which is great. Not hard to lift it and dump it out. Easy to Clean. I would get everything you need to be sitting there for a while. Go to the bathroom and bring a drink. I didn’t realize how long it would be. He is able to sit back and hold his head but a newborn would need help with the head. Another reason to save your back and get the stool. The only thing I would do different is hide this from my husband until he was able to see it in action. It looks like a bucket and a waste of money to someone very practical. It is worth every penny. It would be great for calming, constipation, colic, etc. If you give it as a gift you might have to just go over there and help them use it just to get them started. I could see someone putting this in a closet and not be sure of where to go to return it. They just have to use it once to see how great it is.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RRQHFE8SGD5UY We recently began using the TummyTub with our three month old son. I wasn’t sure how I’d like it at first, but after having used it several times can tell you that it’s definitely one of the most relaxing ways for him to take a bath. He’s extremely content while using the TummyTub…partly because he’s warmer being covered with water and also because of the upright position (which is great for babies who are colicky or have gas). I am very pleased with how simple it is to use and how easy it makes giving our son his baths. I am very happy with this product and only wish I had come across it sooner!

I’m from Germany and have been using the TummyTub for years. I am glad to see them in the US now and have recently purchased one for my new grandson. All pediatricians and midwives agree that a baby enjoys being surrounded by warm water in a contained environment particularly newborns as it reminds them of their mother’s womb. I have known the TummyTub for many years and have realized that the TummyTub is perfectly shaped to accommodate the natural fetal position that babies prefer to be in. In the TummyTub, since the majority of the baby’s body should be covered with warm water they are very relaxed. In Europe thousands of midwives and doulas use theTummyTub and it has become an essential device in the maternity wards of many hospitals and birthing clinics. I highly recommend the TummyTub. It is fascinating and 100% safe way of relaxing both your baby and, in fact, yourself as a parent.
