Tummy Tub Baby Bucket Bath

Yikes, I've seen this in a Brit mag and i'm still nerve racked seeing this again. It truly looks scary!!

The Tummy Tub is actually extremely comfortable and safe for ALL babies. My wife and I bought one for our newborn on our last trip to Ireland and it is magnificent.
If a newborn's head goes underwater, then 1) you're not watching the child, and 2) you filled it too much. There is nothing scary about the Tummy Tub...in fact I wish they sold it here in the US.

But then again, I wish they didn't because someone is bound to mess up, fill it up too much, and not watch their bathing child and when something horrible happens, they will blame the company that makes Tummy Tub instead of blaming themselves.

I agree with the person who posted that they bought one in Ireland, this is a product that many Westerners (I say not only Americans because I'm Canadian) would misuse, and blame on the wrong people. The site used to have a video on it that actually showed a 2 hour old baby going into a Tummy Tub and he immediatly stopped crying!
To all the people who think the idea of holding their child in a different shaped tub then they're used to, may I remind you that you still need to support a child in another tub. At least in a Tummy Tub the baby is comfortable, and not screaming and kicking because they're cold and don't want to be in a typical tub.
They sell them here in Canada, and I don't know anyone who is unhappy with theirs. They love that they can start using it right after their baby is born, and that they can continue using it for 2-3 years (more if you have a petite child. I know I got mine during pregnancy, and my 2 year old wanted to get in it every day. When the baby was born, he loved that he had something to share with her... they both loved the bath!
I hope people can keep an open mind and find what's really best for their kids, instead of just what the fad is.

I borrowed the tummie tub from my aunt whose daughter got it in germany and it was a life saver with my first baby. He was very colicy and this was his only relief and mine as well.

We sell the tummy tub here in the US and have had nothing but rave reviews. Our daughter who is almost two still loves hers as much as she did when she was a week old. This is a wonderful product that we feel fortunate to have at our store!

My sister lives in Turkey - her German midwife recommended this for her newborn daughter. My niece has used the tummy tub daily since she was 4 days old and LOVES it! After seeing how much her baby likes it, I picked up a regular bucket for my (slightly older) baby. She liked it, but it was a bit too small. Highly, highly recommend the tummy tub. Makes bathing a soothing experience for little ones, instead of a scary thing that makes them cold.
