"Now the newborns who have oxygen can take a bath and don't have to go into the metal wash bowl."

Small change, big impact
The warm reception and enthusiastic reactions from the team confirm what Tummy Tub® stands for: offering support in those first, vulnerable moments after birth, in a way that matches natural security. The design of the tub also plays an important role in this. Thanks to its well thought-out shape and relatively thick wall construction, the water stays at temperature for longer, which contributes to a stable and comfortable environment for the newborn. At the same time, less water is needed than with traditional bathing solutions, making its use efficient and practical within a care setting.
The material and rounded shapes also create a softer, less clinical experience than, say, a metal basin. This contributes to calmness, both for the baby and for the care professional supervising the bathing moment. Especially in situations where extra care is needed, such as with babies receiving oxygen support, details like these make a visible difference.
We are grateful for the trust of the team at Rijnstate and have great respect for the important work done in the department every day.
