Tummy Tub Medical Point of View

From a medical point of view, I consider the position of the child in the Tummy Tub to be very good, as the new born baby is able to feel the sides of the tub with both hands.  This creates for the baby a similar sensation to that experienced in the mother's womb.  The babies feel relaxed and are very calm.  That's why I, as a doctor, can recommend the Tummy Tub method of bathing to all maternity hospitals.

 

Definitely a Winner

"Okay, I’ll admit that I thought it was a joke at first. We were given what appeared to be a bucket by a well meaning friend of ours. I remember her smile at the time of presenting it to me. It seemed to me an embarrassed smile for presenting me with something so silly,  but I now know different – It was actually a confident knowing smile that the doubt that obviously showed on my own face would very quickly turn to one of surprise. For the first week or so this bucket sat there with other baby items stored in it. It was actually my husband who after several days of frustration bathing our cranky baby decided to give it ago when his curiosity got the better of him after he read the information that came with it. It was the first time that we saw our baby actually enjoying the contact with water and appeared completely relaxed. Every time it’s the same. I was won over instantly and this surprised me a lot.

Yes it was a bit tricky to get used to using it, but after the third or fourth time I would now say it’s much easier to use than the conventional bath and I cannot say I ever got used to using that one when I think about it. It was itself quite awkward, particularly the filling and emptying – the “tub” is so much easier. I myself have now given several Tummy Tub’s as gifts to friends with the same knowing smile that my friend gave me. It’s quite exciting to know that they may go through the same discovery process. This is definitely a winner as far as I am concerned."
