Mothercare Shaped Foam Bath Support

Anyone who has had a baby recently, will I am sure identify with my early experiences of bathing a small helpless infant. When your baby arrives, one of the first things you get shown is how to give your new little one a bath. You are taken into a room, where all the necessary equipment is neatly laid out ready for you and a nursing auxiliary is waiting to show you how to bath your baby. She handles your baby with such ease whilst expertly carrying out all the required steps to bath, dry and dress the baby. These steps include: undressing the baby down to it's nappy swaddling the baby in a towel (making sure their arms and legs ...  Read the complete review

We all know bath time is meant to be a lovely soothing experience for both baby and parent. It really isn't. It is complete hell with a newborn baby, I felt myself feeling completely down trodden after bathing a screaming baby - it certainly wasn't a good bonding experience for me. When the boyfriend and I were out shopping, we were looking for something to make the experience a bit more easy and enjoyable for me and baby. My boyfriend was working at the time so I usually had to wash bubba by myself. We already had a baby bath but I really struggled with juggling everything. We bought the bath support from Mothercare for about £7 and it is the best £7, I have ...  Read the complete review

Bathing an infant is one of those things that you think should be a wonderful bonding experience. It's not. The little newborn monster hates having its clothes taken off, doesn't want to cooperate with the hospital-mandated bit where you swaddle it in a towel and wash its various bits in rotation, and flails as though it was in the middle of a herd of fruit flies. We brought our little monster home from the hospital and approached the first bath with a great deal of nervousness. She's tiny, how do we avoid breaking her? That's where the bath sponge comes in. You fill the adult bath with about an inch of water and put the sponge in, then ...  Read the complete review

We knew almost nothing about babies when our daughter came along and so we were a little bit naive about some of our purchases. However, this foam support for the bath is one of the must have essentials for any newborn as it makes your life a million times easier! It's suitable from newborn so the littlest of babies can lie on this and have the support needed so mum or dad has a hand free to wash/splash/do whatever they need to do. This was perfect for us as it was often one of us who would give our daughter a bath and without the support, I have no idea what you would do as I would have had to support her with two hands. They are non slip and we ...  Read the complete review

When we were shopping for baby essentials, my Husband and I decided to not go for a traditional baby bath and to buy one of these sponge bath supports from Mothercare instead. Unfortunately we were then given a baby bath and have been using that until very recently when our Daughter started to out grow it. However I am now so disappointed that we didn't just use this item from the start instead of the baby bath... Having used a normal baby bath for the whole of our little girl's life, we encountered an unexpected problem when putting her in the 'big' bath for the first time - she was terrified! Absolutely scared stiff, despite me being in the bath too to ...  Read the complete review
