 Topic: Tummy Tub - what do you think?
Posted: 22 August 2007 at 2:21pm |

Hi there,
Was hoping to find out mothers' views on the Tummy Tub. Do you have one? Is it better than the regular style baths? I'm a sucker for a gimmick so would love to hear what you think.

I've not used one, but only got a week's use out of our normal baby bath, and Brenna (Roobydooby's girl) still fits in hers! Sure looks like a good idea to me

Yip, I've got one! Brenna loves it and it is so worth the money. We can give her a bath in the lounge where it is warm and it is good for when you travel and doesn't take up lots of room in the bathroom when not in use.
Here she is last week (9 1/2 months) She looks a bit funny cause she was trying to get out to look in a mirror we had infront of her. She generally jut sits in it normally
This is her at 3 months

Aw I love these, we had a lady come to our anti natel class to demonstrate. We had already spent the $ on a standard which we only used for a small amount of time.
I didn't think the price was too bad with, Rubydooby looks like you definately got your moneys worth!

We have definately got our moneys worth and I can't see her outgrowing it anytime soon.
It's also good in summer cause we are on tank water and it doesn't use much water

The tummy tub is the best thing since sliced bread! I find them heaps easier to carry, to bath, and to fill them.

I am an Aunt to my 2 year old niece and she absolutely loved hers she bathed in it every day till she was about 9 months old ish...
You can purchase them at Nature Baby in Auckland they have two stores one in Grey Lynn and one in Newmarket.
Only thing is that you can't purchase the stand in New Zealand. You can in Australia though. I purchased mine in Sydney on sale for $54 from Babies Galore in Chatswood.
Def worth the money and soooo cute!!!

I have one and I love it, we don't have a normal bath and I'm able to bath her in the lounge where is warm and it only takes 7 litres of water so its not too heavy to carry.
I expect its more sturdy and stable than an ordinary bucket.

We didnt have one, we just used a normal baby bath which we still used in the lounge where it was warm. I am sure that they are lovely, but a bit gimmicky in my opinion. Like Bizzy said - nothing a decent size bucket / plastic container / normal baby bath wouldnt do.

We got given one when DD was about 3 mths. Used it occassionally, but don't think it was any better than a normal baby bath. Would be gd for camping though!

Actually a bucket wouldnt work the same at all and hardly gimmicky when your see instant relief on a constipated/colicky/refux baby...
We couldnt afford one but would have LOVED one as both my boys loved being in it

I don't mean to be rude but why wouldn't a bucket work? I just ask as I always used a bucket with my son and was planning on with my next too but if there is a reason why this would be better I'd love to know. We always used a big sturdy nappy bin type bucket.

I didnt say it wouldnt work, but it wouldnt work the same and its in the shaping inside of the tub...
A bucket is flat n the bottom where as the tub is curved so when they move it acts like a washing machine plus the position the are in is more womb like and is what aids the tummy issues.
Ive not seen a baby bathed in one who didnt at least fart lol
im not explaining it very well, Id make a terrible salesperson lol

We have have one and I'm not sure why, but we just found the bath in the change table easier. Only used it once or twice. I'll give it another go with this next one though, whenever she decides to join us!

I like it cause I can use it on the floor and it can be used when she gets older until she's able to sit / stand in the shower by herself
lately she's been trying to stand up in it with the weightlessness she has a ball splashing around DD in her tummy tub
