Bath time, not stress time.
Early in the 1990’s, midwives in the Netherlands discovered that a baby benefits from a baby bath design that mimics the environment of the womb. In the unique womb shaped TummyTub babies find it easier to cope with the stresses of being born and the unfamiliar sensations of their new world. TummyTub offers all-round warmth and helps your baby relax and become calm in the familiar fetal position. Besides breastfeeding, bathing is an ideal opportunity for intensive parent-baby contact.
TummyTub is suitable for newborn, premature, colicky and fussy babies.
A joyful bonding experience…
Long and intensive contact with the mother after birth in the form of skin-on-skin contact, such as breastfeeding and stroking; the gentle sound of her voice; and the warmth of her body initiates bonding with the newborn, while promoting comfort and security.
Bath time can also be a special bonding time for parents with their baby, and one in which dads can take an active role enjoying the benefits of positive eye contact.
…suitable for newborns, twins and colicky babies.
TummyTub is highly recommended for premature, newborn and colicky babies and is used in maternity wards across the globe as the first bath a baby ever receives because it is proven to be a better alternative to the standard hospital bath which raises heart rate. Because newborns do not get dirty, bathing is mainly for relaxation, calming, and also bonding with the parents.
