Collection: Bed & Bath

A baby bath tub is a small tub sized to bathe a newborn or infant safely, before they're big enough for the family bath. The right one suits your baby's age and your setup: a simple tub, a tub on a stand to save your back, or a baby bath stand, or one with a newborn support that cradles a tiny baby. Safety is the priority — a baby must never be left alone in any water. Think about your baby's age, where you'll bathe them, and back-friendly height.

What type of baby bath do you need?

The options suit different ages and setups:

• Simple tub: a small basin you fill and place on a surface or in the big bath, cheapest and easiest to store.
• Bath on a stand: raises the tub to a comfortable height so you're not bending over, saving your back.
• Tub with newborn support: a moulded insert or sling that cradles a tiny baby who can't sit.
• Folding bath: collapses flat for storage in a small home.

What is an infant bath support?

An infant bath support, or baby bath support, is a moulded insert or mesh sling that cradles a newborn who can't sit or hold their head, holding them at a safe angle in the water. It frees a hand and helps until baby can sit up, though you still support them throughout.

How do you bathe a baby safely?

The single most important rule is never leave a baby alone in the bath, not even for a moment, since a baby can drown in very little water in seconds. Keep one hand supporting them always. Fill the bath with only a small amount of warm water, and test the temperature with your elbow or a bath thermometer — around 37°C, warm not hot. Get everything you need ready before you start so you never have to turn away. A newborn support helps hold a baby who can't sit up. Constant hands-on supervision is what keeps bath time safe.

Common questions

When can a baby use a big bath?
Once they can sit up steadily on their own, usually around 6 months, with constant supervision and a non-slip mat. Before that, a baby bath is safer for a baby who can't sit.

What water temperature is safe for a baby bath?
Around 37°C — warm, not hot. Test it with your elbow or a bath thermometer before putting baby in, since a baby's skin is more sensitive than yours.

Do I need a newborn bath support?
A newborn support cradles a baby who can't sit or hold their head, freeing a hand and holding them at a safe angle. It helps until baby can sit up, though you still support them.

How much water goes in a baby bath?
Only a small amount — enough to wash baby, not to submerge them. A baby can drown in very little water, so keep it shallow and never leave them alone.
