The Tummy Tubs are the latest child pacifiers to come out of Holland.

Tummy Tubs, which is a new product by child carers in Netherlands, are said to be doing wonders pacifying crying babies. Tummy Tubs are small bathtubs that make the baby feel more secure as the tub is smaller than an average baby bathtub. The tubs resemble something of a large bucket that you place your baby in filled with warm water. The smaller are of the tub makes babies feel more secure. Since the baby sits up in the tub, you are able to fill the water up to the baby’s shoulders, which keeps the baby warmer for a longer period of time.

The makers of the Tummy Tub say that, ‘It helps to ease the transition from the comfort of the mothers’ womb. It makes bath time enjoyable from birth; its special, original design ensures that babies adopt and relax in the familiar and natural foetal position.”

Tummy Tubs are recommended for children up to age 3. As the baby gets older, the amount of water you can be decreased if you wish.

DO NOT use a household bucket!!!
A household bucket is not designed, and the overall shape is not suitable, for bathing babies safely. Normal buckets don’t have an anti-skid bottom.

The bottom is not curved like the tummy tub, and therefore does not give the baby any support.
Babies discover their new world by touching with their hands and tasting with their mouths. The pigments in plastic buckets will most likely contain toxic elements, as normal buckets aren’t meant for bathing babies.
You can view your baby from all sides, because of transparent material of original Tummy Tub baby bath tub.
The handle of the bucket can easily hurt the fingers of the baby. It also brings an extra risk, as an older brother or sister could, by holding it, pull the bucket from the table.
Normal buckets are too low and narrow and the children can’t stay warm.
Using a bigger bucket doesn’t give the child the support and a comfortable sitting position like the Tummy Tub does.
A normal bucket would never have the TÜV and BSI approval for baby bathing like the Tummy Tub baby bath tub has.
