A Soft Bathrobe is Indispensable

Warmth, security and convenience; just what you need after bathing.

Getting your baby out of the bathtub is one of those moments when everything seems to happen at once: you want to keep your baby warm, dry him off quickly, reassure him and make sure the bathroom floor doesn’t turn into a water balloon. That’s where a good bathrobe comes in handy – and not just any old one.

Our TummyTub Baby Cape is made of extra soft terry cloth, specially designed for the sensitive skin of newborn babies. In this blog, we explain why a bath cape like this one is a smart choice, how to use it and why it works better than a regular towel.

What is a bath cape anyway?

A bath cape is a square cloth made of terry cloth, with a soft hood in one of the corners. After bathing, you wrap your baby all the way in it, with the head in the hood, so your little one stays instantly warm from head to toe.

Bath towel vs. regular towel: what's the difference?

Many parents use a regular towel in the beginning. This seems practical, but has disadvantages:

No hood: The head – which loses a lot of heat – is often left uncovered.
Too big or too stiff: Regular towels are often awkwardly large and less flexible, making it more difficult to wrap your baby safely.
Coarser material: Adult towels are usually made for rugged use and can feel rough on sensitive baby skin.
Less control and security: A cape wraps around your baby in one motion, providing a sense of safety, calm and warmth.

The TummyTub Baby Cape is precisely designed for little bodies and delicate skin. The hood keeps the head warm, and the soft material makes your baby feel instantly comfortable. No fumbling with an angled towel, just one gentle motion.

Benefits Baby Cape

1. Ultimate softness for baby’s delicate skin
The cape is made of extra soft, OEKO-TEX certified terry cloth that is free of harmful substances. Perfect for the delicate skin of newborn babies.

2. Optimal heat retention
Thanks to the hood and thicker quality terry cloth, your baby will stay warm right after the bath, even if the bathroom is slightly cooler.

3. Easy to use
Lay out the cape before you get your baby out of the bath. When you’re ready, lift your baby up and wrap the cape around them. This keeps your baby calm, warm and dry.

4. Also ideal for travelling or after baby swimming
The bath cape is not only handy after a bath at home, but also perfect for the pool or during vacations.

5. Stylish yet practical gift
The cape is available in soft colors and comes with a beautiful finish – ideal as a maternity gift.

"Our daughter relaxes completely when we wrap her in the cape. And it stays soft even after frequent washing."

Using the Cape

How do you use the bath towel after bathing?

Lay the cape out in advance, such as on the dresser or a changing mat.
Make sure the hood corner is facing you.
After the bath, gently lift your baby out of the tub (for example, the TummyTub).
Place your baby’s head in the hood and immediately wrap the cloth around the body.
Gently pat dry instead of rubbing – this keeps skin soft and protected.
Enjoy the cuddling moment and then calmly dress your baby.
