Newborn growth (age)

It is important to choose a baby bath according to your baby's growth. Different baby baths are suitable for babies up to 1 month old and babies after 1 month old.

Until the baby is one month old, only give the baby a bath, not the same bath as adults.

After 1 month of age, your baby will be able to bathe with an adult.

storage location

Before purchasing a baby bathIt is important to think about storage space.

In addition to where to store it after it is used on a daily basis, you also need to think about storing it for your second child and beyond after they have finished bathing.

If you plan to store the baby bathtub for your second child, make sure you have a place to store it long-term.

If you don't have enough storage space, try choosing an air type or folding type. It can be folded compactly when not in use, so it can be stored in a relatively small space.

Place of use

You can bathe not only in the bathroom, but also in the sink or washroom.Choose a baby bath according to the place you want to bathe..

If your bathroom floor is small or you have difficulty controlling the temperature, we recommend a baby bathtub that can be used over the sink or washbasin.

Taking a bath in the sink or washroom allows parents to work while standing, which reduces the strain on their backs.

Compact types that can be used in sinks and washrooms are available in a variety of sizes. Please measure the size before purchasing a baby bathtub.

person giving a bath

Points to consider when choosing a baby bath differ depending on whether one or two adults will be bathing your baby. Therefore,Before purchasing a baby bath, figure out how many people will be bathing your baby..

If two adults are taking a bath, a larger size is best as a small baby bathtub is likely to be difficult for two people to clean.

If you are bathing alone, try choosing a product that is easy to operate with one hand.

When bathing in one operation, support the baby's head with one hand. It is convenient to have a faucet that has a lot of functions that allow you to turn on the faucet with one hand.
