You can't be too careful when your baby is in the tub. And if your baby is anything like mine, he's going for the most dangerous thing he can grab, including the water spout. This can get pretty hot when filling the tub and is also unforgiving if a baby hits their head on it. Put Skip Hop Moby on there to keep your baby safe. Then let the bubbles fly!

Miracle Baby Swaddling Blanket
These swaddlers are a great way to keep your new little baby toasty and warm. I used to hate wrestling with the receiving blankets to fold them the way the nurses showed me. I always had something flapping out the bottom. These swaddlers are one size fits all so you don't have worry about your baby outgrowing it. There are no buttons or velcro that can irritate your baby and it makes sleeping on his back easier which reduces the risk of SIDS. That's one less thing to keep you awake at night.

4moms Cleanwater Infant Bath Tub with Digital Thermometer
The 4moms Cleanwater Infant Bath Tub with Digital Thermometer seems like the ultimate word in infant bathtub technology. Its unique design enables running faucet water to create a gentle circulating flow within the tub, cradling baby in clean, warm water. The fast responding digital thermometer makes it easy to set and maintain a comfortable water temperature, so baby stays warm throughout bath time. The water resistant backlit display is color coded to indicate when the water is cold (blue), warm (green) or hot (red). A graphic Comfort Zone, which is part of the display, and audible high temperature alerts take the guesswork and constant checking out of monitoring the water temperature. This tub is sized to fit in single and double sinks, as well as your bathtub.

Super Sub Sohie from Wow Toys
Anderson has taken a real liking to his bath toys, especially the little submarine that squirts water. We have to be careful that he doesn't take his both toys out of the bath with him. If we had this cool Super Sub Sohie from Wow Toys that wouldn't be a problem. This wind-up toy has a propeller for the bath and a set of hidden wheels for dry land. Super Sub Sophie comes complete with her very own deep sea diver, Darren, and doesn't require any batteries. It's made from extra durable plastic, so it won't break in the bathtub, and is appropriate for children ages 1 through 5.

Secure Transitions Baby Tub
One of our biggest issues with our baby tub was that it was a little slippery. It took Andy a long time to feel comfortable sitting up in it since he didn't have the strength to keep himself from sliding around as he tried to sit. The Secure Transitions Baby Tub takes away that issue. This inflatable tub is comfortable for your baby, keeping him safe without him feeling cramped. There is a contoured headrest that helps with shampooing, and it even suctions to the wall when you aren't using it to safe space! There are places to hold your shampoo and rinse cup as well, so they are always right there for you when you need them.

Belly Laf
Belly Laf is a company that designs mitts called Grippees that assist in washing your baby. If you hold your infant when washing him, you probably worry about him slipping out of your hands. These mitts are designed to prevent that. They have silicone gripping dots that are placed on the lower palm of each mitt that help keep your baby in your hands. Each pair of mitts also has a fun design on them, such as a blowfish or whale.
They also have MiniMitts, which are designed for children ages 2-5 to help them learn how to wash themselves. They are thumbless, child sized mitts that go on and off easily and help children learn how to wash in the tub. These also have cute designs on them too. They are definitely great for the toddler who insists on doing everything himself.
The company also gives 10% of profilts to charities that help children with fatal diseases. So you're doing good when you purchase from Belly Laf!

Review: Arbonne Baby Care
We've got a friend who is an Arbonne consultant who let us sample the full line of Arbonne Baby Care products. We've used the Hair and Body Wash and Body Oil in the past on the recommendation of our pediatrician. This time we also used the Body Lotion and Herbal Diaper Rash Cream.
Arbonne products are specially formulated to be very gentle to your child's skin. When Andy was younger, he had a persistent rash on his face and arms, and he always had very dry skin on his legs. We started using Arbonne products and the rash quickly cleared up. Arbonne is much more gentle than the other hair and body wash products that we were using, which is very nice if your child has sensitive skin.
The nicest thing about these products is their smell. They all have a very similar fresh herbal smell, including the Diaper Rash Creme, which is a refreshing change. The Diaper Rash Creme and the Body Lotion were both a less viscous than what I was expecting. This made them both a lot easier to spread, but I accidentally dispensed too much before I realized this!
If you're looking for a line of products for your baby's sensitive skin, and don't mind paying a little bit more, then I definitely recommend the line of Arbonne products. You can buy them from your local Arbonne consultant, or online. To order online, please use Consultant ID #17508916. Let her know that you found her on "Super Cool Baby" and you'll receive 25% off your order of $25 of more.

Tub-Time Bumpers
I was always fearful of the bath with Andy. He quickly outgrew the Primo Eurobath because he was such a large little guy, and so we had a problem. Do we squeeze him in there or put him in the bath tub and hope he doesn't slip and hit his head o the tub? I wish we'd known about the Tub-Time Bumper. It is a bumper made for the tub, with suctions that secure to the tub walls. It is made of rugged vinyl, has graphics of letters and shapes, and is soft and safe. If you worry about the transition to a real tub, this will ease your mind that much more.
