Mothercare Fabric Bath Support

Being pregnant for the third time has made me slightly reminiscent of my previous pregnancy and baby experiences, it gives me a lot of food for thought as I decide what products I will or will not be reusing or replacing for baby Lumpys arrival in July. Back in 2004 when I was expecting my first child I was naturally a bit apprehensive, I'd not had much contact with babies and was unsure of how I'd cope with it all, bathing scared me in particular and I was always worried that I wouldn't support my baby properly, perhaps even letting him fall into the water, deciding it would be better to prevent even the risk of this happening we purchased the Mothercare fabric bath ...  Read the complete review

The first couple of baths my son was given were in our sink, with me holding him and my husband washing him. Great until my husband was back at work and I needed to bath H by myself! I did manage the first couple but it was hard trying to hold a squirming baby and wash him too!! So I looked in Mothercare next time I was there, and saw a range of bath supports, I chose this fabric bath support as it was cheap, small and I figured it wasn't going to be used for that long really!! It is currently priced at £7.99 and is available on the mothercare website and in store subject to size and stock levels. It is a simple metal frame with a terry ...  Read the complete review

Being a first time mum I was petrified of bathing my son. He was so tiny I just didn't understand how you could hold a baby AND wash them at the same time. It took my husband and I to bath him, a bit like a tag team. This made it very difficult if my husband was working late, as we would have to wait till my husband came home to bath him. My brother had had a baby a few months before us and while we were talking he suggested I get the fabric bath support. I really think this was the best advice he has ever given me. We bought one the following day and although we bathed him together that night, it meant I could then do it on my own or even better, my husband could bath ...  Read the complete review

I didn't use this one for my first child but a friend gave it to me for my 2nd baby. Its a towelling fabric streched over a metal frame whch is higher at 1 end slanting down. It costs £7.99 from mothercare. You fill the baby bath up and put this into it and you rest your baby on top whilst washing them with hands free. I found it to be rather big at the botom and I had to push it quite hard into the little bath to make it more secure. When I put my baby in I noticed her head was getting quite wet and even her ears were which I didn't like much I had to keep propping her up. Her feet kept slipping off the end. I also didn't like the fact ...  Read the complete review

Having never used a bath seat for our first child, we looked into it when we were expecting our second as we felt it would be useful to have the newborn supported so we had a few more hands free to deal with our toddler when we bathed them together. A friend gave us a big bulky plastic thing which was sold rather quickly in an NCT sale, and the funds use to purchase this one. I thought the fabric would be a bit more comfortable and warm, and it didn't take up too much space. This was true for the first few weeks of our son's life, but as soon as he started growing longer we ran into problems. The part that turns up at the bottom isn't tall enough to keep him from ...  Read the complete review
