a small baby bathtub, the kitchen sink, or even a sponge bath on a towel on the floor is all your little baby needs.
Consider using

Your
baby will be too
small to fit into the
bathtub when they are born, so you need to purchase a plastic bath tub for washing them.
First things first, set up a bath seat or
small bathtub for your
baby.
However, not every sink is ideal for a
baby bathtub and if your basin is on the
smaller side, you might find a tub that fits into your big
bathtub will be more ideal.
A quality in - sink
baby bathtub is versatile enough to handle both larger kitchen sinks as well as
smaller bathroom sinks.
A
small, constricting
baby bath is a lot different than a huge
bathtub, and your little one will probably notice.
You can even place a
smaller baby bath into your larger
bathtub, but never when the large tub is filled with water (basically, do not use the
baby bathtub like a boat or flotation device - ever).
Baby bathtubs take up a lot of space in the
smallest room of the house, so parents are eager to give them away to friends the moment they're outgrown.
Take
baby into the
bathtub with you or a
small wading pool and let her splash and play in the water with you.
I like to put a
small towel in the bottom of the
bathtub so that the
baby doesn't slip.
You've likely tried the
smaller tubs in the sink, and have graduated to a larger
baby tub placed in your actual
bathtub by now.
Choose a container like a
baby bathtub,
small wicker cradle, a metal tub, clothing basket, health and safety basket, and even a diaper pail bucket.
