(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best baby bathing tubs & sets

we have a puj tub. I love that it collapses completly flat and hangs on the back of the door. Its made to fit in a sink.. which is great because sitting on the edge of a tub or kneeling to bath a baby is uncomfertable for me. For us its one less thing to have to move before we take a shower, or something to store.

I have a regular size bathtub but I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-Soak-Baby-White-Months/dp/B07L4DHQY5

It might not be ideal for a floppy newborn but our sink isn't really appropriately sized for a tub either and I like that I can put this one on the counter and it's not too big, it's deep enough to keep baby submerged in warm water and is easy to store.

We have this inflatable bath tub, in the duck pattern. It has a suction cup to hang it up after use and it's good quality. I highly recommend it!! http://www.amazon.com/Kel-Gar-Snug-Tub-Elephant-Supersize-32/dp/B000056JB8/

I've got a couple of wild heathens (1.5yr old boys) and baths aren't as difficult as I had originally expected. It takes a bit of strength and swiftness to get both into the bath at the same time, but there are a few key things we do to pull it off.

​

If two parents are present, one focuses on the bath and the other focuses on laying out towels, PJ's and diapers. We also try to keep all of the nearby doors closed so they can't run out of the bathroom dripping wet into other parts of the house.

​

The key is to be fast and keep them distracted.

​

- Water temperature should be slightly cold or lukewarm. They hate warm water.

- We fill the bathtub with water toys like rubber ducks and a bath pipe toy set.

- The kneepad/elbow rest makes it so much easier to kneel down at their level.

- We mix their body wash with water and put inside of a foamer so that foam instantly comes out. Literally saving a few seconds to worry about lathering has proven to be valuable.

- Although it's kind-of crazy, I put foam on both heads and use both of my hands simultaneously to wash their hair (multitasking!). We also put foam on their chests and they think it's funny to help and rub it in themselves.

- Baby burrito! The washing parent hands one child to the prepping parent for drying off. Repeat.

We went with this tub because it had multi-stage use. I love the blue base because it can be a footstool later on, atm we use it as a seat.

This is great. Comes with an infant insert in a bundle too.

We're in a one bedroom here too (about 800sqft). Space saving ideas:

Hanging closet organizer if you need more storage

Puj Tub!! We don't have room for those huge plastic tubs

Bouncer plus swing combo, instead of needing both pieces

We aren't getting a changing table, just adding a changing pad to the top of our dresser.
We got that over-the-toilet storage for the new towels and products that will be in our bathroom. Plus, added a hook to hang the Puj Tub to dry flat.

Try getting the tub seats for infants, it prevents this

We're looking at this one for now - I like how flat it gets!

Like this!

We used this tub on the kitchen counter at first, then on the floor of the shower (once he started splashing around and sitting up in the tub), for about two years before we moved to a house with a tub. It's not as convenient as a tub, but it worked just fine.

How about one of those tub partitions? There's this one on Amazon, though it has some mixed reviews. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7T6THZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_w9B6CbS4DEZXJ

A bag won't hold water very well and is awkward as hell with much water in it. The inflatable is more manageable, but you'll still need some hose system to drain it, and preferably into a gray water container for proper disposal.

Maybe a foldable baby bathtub: https://www.amazon.com/Stokke-Flexi-Bath-Sensitive-White/dp/B07KQRRKBS/ref=pd_cp_75_1?pd_rd_w=hAcia&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=6A9BCHAX10JTA910BJS0&pd_rd_r=1293afca-a33a-11e9-95ef-ff89da75d8b9&pd_rd_wg=UKVY3&pd_rd_i=B07KQRRKBS&refRID=6A9BCHAX10JTA910BJS0&th=1

We have the blooming bath right now and I really like it for bathing little one in the sink. But I'm not really fond of the maintenance. I dislike having to wash it after each use. So we also have a basic baby bath like the first years one but I hate that it doesn't hold much water. We are planning to buy this one now that little one is nearly five months. It also works for littler babies.
