I couldn't wait to give my son his first bath. Unfortunately, I would have to wait. First, you have to wait for the umbilical cord to fall off. They tell you it should only take a few days, but it will probably be at least a week, maybe two. For a boy, you'll have to wait at least a week after the circumcision is performed. It was about 2 1/2 weeks before I was finally able to see my son use his new bath & spa.
Review: Summer Soothing spa and shower baby bath - boy colors
The Spa and baby bath includes: a baby bath tub (plastic) that could stand separately, bath sling (for holding infants), and Spa pump with shower attachment.
My impression after finally using the baby spa and bath was very positive for the most part.
The Good:
- The tub - when a product is well designed, you take notice of the little details that you only value with experience. Once such detail is the plug for draining the tub. Postpartum mothers are not supposed to lift anything heavy for the first six weeks. A tub full of water would be over the limit, but the drain allows for moms to lift the emptied tub when they are done. The tub is basic, but perfected. It's all you need in a baby bath tub.
- The bath sling - holds infants in place while their parents get them all clean. It seems nice and cozy and provides ample support for the infant.
