Preparing for the arrival of a baby, happy parents try to get all the necessary things and accessories in advance. These include baby baths, without which it is difficult to imagine daily hygiene procedures. Modern stores offer the widest selection of such attributes of both foreign and domestic manufacturers. But which model of the bath should you give your preference to? Our article will help you make a difficult choice.

First of all, it is worth mentioning the expediency of purchasing a baby bath. Some parents mistakenly believe that the baby can be bathed in a shared bathroom. First, it's unhygienic. Secondly, immediately after the birth of a child, certain precautions must be observed - since the umbilical wound must heal properly, bathing can only take place in boiled water with the addition of various herbs. Agree, filling a large bathtub with boiled water will be quite problematic. That is why baby baths become an integral attribute of the daily life of the baby. What are they like?

Baby baths for bathing have several varieties. Here is a brief description of them.

• Anatomical models. Baths with specialbuilt-in slide, repeating the structure of the baby's body. Since the child in it is in a slightly elevated and at the same time horizontal position, it becomes much more convenient to bathe him - the mother's hands will be absolutely free. When the baby grows up a little, he can be seated on the bottom of the bath, and an obstacle in the form of a slide between the legs will prevent him from falling. Despite all its convenience, this model has one significant drawback - the child cannot be laid on the tummy during the bath.

• Classic baby baths. They are enameled or made of plastic. The disadvantage is that it will be very difficult to bathe the baby alone - additional help will be needed. But for an already grown little one, this model is the best fit, because its large dimensions will provide the child with the necessary space and comfort.

• Round tubs. Round-shaped baby baths have the second name "mother's tummy", as they repeat the mother's womb as much as possible. This model allows the baby to feel completely safe. The slightly raised backrest will support your baby's back and head. The bath itself is a bucket with a handle, which is easy to carry, as well as pour and pour water.

• Built-in baby baths. Can be part of a baby dresser or changing table. Convenient in that all the attributes necessary for bathing will be at hand. Such models are equipped with wheels and a special hose for draining water.

• Thermal baths. Modelswith built-in thermometer, soap dish and drain plug. The stable feet and non-slip bottom ensure the safety of the child. In addition, the baby will not be able to pull out the plug on his own - it is hidden under the thermometer and becomes available only after lifting it until it clicks.

• Antibacterial models. Made with an antiseptic that kills disease-causing bacteria.

• Trays for showers. They have a small rounded shape and a small seat, as well as a hole for draining water. Designed for children from 1.5 years. Until this age, it is quite possible to use a round bath.

• Inflatable baby baths. Compact and portable, you can take it with you when you travel. Stable model with a protrusion for the baby's head.

Familiarizing yourself with all the abundance of models, you can choose the best option. It should be remembered that the convenience and comfort of the baby should be the determining factors of choice.
