When you begin to build up your list of must-haves for your impending arrival, a baby bath might not feature first. But it will quickly become one of your favourite and most-used baby items!
Whilst you can bathe your baby in your own bath it can be a nerve-wracking experience especially for a first time parent. You may also find that with a small, delicate and wriggling little one a bit of extra support would be useful! This is where the baby bath really holds its own as one of your most important non-negotiables.
Why should I buy a baby bath?
A baby bath can help support you and your baby during bathtime in many ways. Whilst it can be beneficial for your baby, it also makes parenting that bit easier.
Firstly, our baby bath is perfectly sized to accommodate your newborn baby all the way up to 12 months. Due to its compact size it keeps the bath water warmer for longer, helping your baby to enjoy their bathtime and prevents you from worrying about the bath water getting too cold. This also means you don’t have to fill the bath as much, saving you on water and time! Secondly, bathing your baby in your own bath especially if you are recovering from a c-section or experience back pain can worsen things - whereas our bath can be used in our bath stand to give you a bit of relief in those early months. Our stand allows you to bathe your baby at your waist level, preventing bending and unnecessary painful movement.
Bathing a baby in a normal bathtub can be quite the workout - requiring all hands on deck to keep them supported within the water whilst trying to bathe them at the same time. With our baby bath, your baby is supported by our back rest and innovative bum bump. Our bum bump prevents your baby from slipping down in the water as you support their head and neck where needed. This alone can help relax you and your baby - who feels warm and secure. If you feel that you’d prefer our Newborn Bath Support can also give you that extra reassurance.
Best baby bath for support
Most parents don’t realise how physical bathing a baby actually is - especially when everyone’s a little unsure on how to do it at first. Our baby bath makes those first few baths and every bath after that much more comfortable with its foam, soft-to-the-touch back rest for baby and bum bump that helps prevent slipping.
Over time as your baby grows, they’ll be able to sit up themselves with your supervision - allowing you to have free hands to bathe them, introduce bathtime sensory and continue your bonding experience with a lot less worry and hassle.
As mentioned, if you need extra support for yourself - you can use our baby bath stand that is unique to our design.
Best baby bath for comfort
Bathtime is a new experience for your baby and can be overwhelming for newborn and parent alike - but our warm to the touch backrest instantly helps to put them at ease. If you find that your baby struggles to relax in the bath, swaddle bathing can be useful especially for smaller newborns to help keep them snug and secure during bathtime.
Our bum bump adds to your baby’s comfort and yours by providing an extra layer of reassurance - baby is given support on their bottom giving you both an a helping hand during bathtime. By the time baby is approximately 12 months old they will be ready to upgrade to our Toddler Bath (the same familiar shape to our baby bath, but bigger for 1 - 4 year olds!).
To continue the comfort and warmth, change your little one on our Squishy Changing Mat also made from a warm feeling material - our premium, baby-safe PU foam that feels firm enough for changing but soft enough for their comfort.
Best baby bath for safety
Our Shnuggle baby bath is made from BPA-free non toxic plastic and includes several safety features that can give you the reassurance you’re making the best choice. If you’d like an eco-friendly version, our Eco Baby Bath is made from 98% recycled plastic. All of our baby baths comply with European safety standards - EN 17072:2018.
Of course with any baby bathtime experience, it is vital that you don’t leave your baby alone during bathtime not even for a second and not even with a younger sibling.
Our bum bump can provide your baby with extra stability in the bath - allowing you to focus on supporting their upper body.
The ergonomic design of our bath is contoured to fit and accommodate your growing baby and keep them comfortable throughout the 12 months of using our baby bath.
You can enhance the safety and security of your baby’s bathtime by using a bath thermometer and by keeping them warm after bathtime in our bath towels.

Is there anything else I need for my baby’s bathtime?
So now you know what the best baby bath is in the UK, is there anything else you might need for their bathtime. Well, we’re glad you asked! Here’s some of our recommendations below.
Baby bath brush
Our soft silicone baby bath brush that comes in matching colours all correlating with our bath and changing mat makes washing baby’s hair that much easier. The soft ‘bristles’ massage your baby’s head and help to ease up and wash away early cradle cap. The handle allows you to effectively wash baby’s hair without creating too much fuss.
Wearable towel
Whilst baby bathrobes are oh-so-cute, parents know that the best towel you can get for your baby is a wearable one! With cute bear ears on the head of the towel, this functional but sweet wearable towel is definitely a must have for bathtime. Made from plush 100% bamboo and cotton blend, your baby will feel as snug as a bug after their bath.
Bath thermometer
Skip the guess work and use a bath thermometer to let you know when your bath water has hit the perfect temperature! Our Bobbin’ Bath Buoy thermometer floats in the water and gives an accurate reading of the bath’s temperature, flashing green when you’re good to go.
Washy rinsing jug
When it comes to rinsing a baby's hair, we know all too well that tears will probably happen as water gets into their eyes. That’s why we created our Washy Rinsing Jug that has a curved edge to sit softly against their head - allowing you to rinse their head and hair without soap and water getting into their little eyes. A gamechanger!
