Bath Seats

While bathing your baby may be a great time for mother and baby bonding it is not without its problems. It is always best to have everything ready before putting your baby in the bath then you don’t have to worry about forgetting the baby bath or not having a clean towel.

This is where a baby bath seat can really come in handy, the baby is higher up so you don’t have to do quite so much bending.

The main problem with a bath seat is that you can’t use it before your baby is able to sit up by themselves, usually between 4 and 7 months. When you do go shopping for bath seats there are a number of things that you need to bear in mind. Make sure that the seat has a t bar strap that goes through your baby’s legs to stop them slipping too far. You should also measure the seat as you should not be more than an arm’s length away from your baby once they are in the seat. You should never leave a baby on a bath seat unattended.
