Use a Baby Bath Tub until
the Baby is about 6 Months old

A baby bath tub is available in many different shapes and sizes. For the comfort and support of the baby, some have a back and a head support. Most tubs can be placed in a sink or on a counter.

Many of the newer models have a mesh inner lining to prevent the baby from sliding around.

Some tubs have a special design that makes it safer for the baby. The interior is made of soft material and one end of the tub is elevated. A mesh lining supports the newborn and helps keep the head above water.

Some have special inserts that are used until the baby can sit up.

Prices for range from about $15-30.

Look for the following features:

• The interior of the tub should be soft material.
• The inner lining should be slip resistant.
• A rounded top around the sides of the tub makes it easier to carry.
• The material should be sturdy. It should not bend, when the baby is inside.
• It should have a drain with an attached plug.
• IT should fold for easy storage.
• The seat should be padded and slip resistant. This will help keep the baby in a safe and comfortable position.
