Teeny babies can be unbelievably wriggly and slippery, so make bath time fun and easy with a baby bath or a support that sits in the big bath.
You’ll need to hold on tight until they can sit – and you always need to stay close by.
As your baby gets bigger, colourful, squeezy cups and toys can make bath time fun and educational too!

You can choose from a few main options:
- baby baths – from mini baths, cute ‘buckets’ and even sink baths, these products hold water
- bath aid or support – these sit neatly in your big bath

How much will baby bathing equipment cost?
