Tummy Tub® has been making babies feel protected in a new world since 1995. In the early nineties, midwives in the Netherlands discovered that babies benefit – both emotionally and physically – from being bathed in a tub that resembles the natural feeling of being in their mummy’s womb.

TUMMY TUB® GOES WAY BACK
Tummy Tub® has been helping babies feel protected in a new world since 1995. In the early 90’s Frank Hogestijn, in collaboration with midwives in the Netherlands, discovered that babies benefit – both emotionally and physically – from a bath that mimics the natural feeling of the womb. Midwives and other experts from all over the world recommend bathing your baby in a Tummy Tub®. It’s the preferred bathtub for babies’ first bathing experience in many hospitals around the world.
THE NEXT (BABY) STEPS
Now that the Tummy Tub® has been a classic item in the baby trousseau for over twenty-five years, Emése Hogestijn has taken over her father’s baby bath business to revive it. She grew up with the Tummy Tub®, bathing in it until she was even two years old! She connects the brand with today’s wife and mother and takes a critical look at how she can make the baby industry more sustainable. “I always try to think in solutions and just like any entrepreneur, I sometimes just do something. But the core of Tummy Tub® is always central: the natural bond between a mother and her child.”
