How do you use the Tummy Tub®?

Bath time is a time for nurturing, playing, bonding and nurturing.

Bath time is a special moment to cherish, a chance to play, bond and give your baby the care and attention he or she deserves. Follow these simple steps to ensure that you and your little one enjoy the Tummy Tub® to the fullest.

Step 1: Preparation

Make sure you have everything you need on hand:
a clean Tummy Tub®, a soft towel and safe baby products. Wash your hands thoroughly and fill the Tummy Tub® with water from 37°C to the recommended water level (13 cm from the bottom). This is about 4.5 liters of water.

Check the temperature with your elbow – the water should be pleasantly warm, not too hot or cold. Make sure the water just covers your baby’s shoulders as they sit. If necessary, adjust the amount of water.

Tip: Always put everything you need, such as clothes and a cloth, within easy reach.

Step 2: Safely sinking into the bathtub

Hold your baby firmly under the armpits and buttocks while supporting the head with your fingers. Slowly and gently lower your little one into the water. Make sure they are comfortable, with their feet lightly touching the wall of the Tummy Tub®. This makes them feel safe and secure.

Step 3: Washing

Keep your baby’s head supported by placing your hand under their chin. Use your free hand to gently wash your baby. For hard-to-reach areas, you can lightly lift your baby for a moment. Make sure this process is calm and relaxed.

Step 4: Getting out of the bath safely

The Tummy Tub® allows your baby to completely relax. The warm water can help relieve any cramps and offers a moment of skin-to-skin contact. When the bath is finished, gently lift your baby out of the Tummy Tub®. Still support the head with your fingers and immediately wrap your little one in a soft towel. Dry them well before dressing them.
