Hi there


I have got a plastic baby bath which I intend to use on top of a table.


Could anyone recommend please what type of baby support I could use in it so that I can have both hands free to bathe baby? Is one of those fabric chairs best? There's so many things out there and its a bit confusing to know what to get!


Any advice much appreciated. Many thanks in advance x

I would get one of the moulded plastic ones. I had one of the sling ones the first time round but have used a moulded one this time. I much prefer the plastic one - doesn't add to the washing pile (crucial in my book) it keeps them in place and they can use for longer .

I used a bath and stand system for the first couple of months though so am presuming you can use the moulded one from birth - can't see why not.

Although if you are going to be flying anywhere the sling ones do pack down so you can take with you...

We used one of the hard plastic moulded bath supports with #1 from birth - he was tiny so for the first few weeks he got bathed in the hand basin (without using a support) then we went straight to using the big bath with the support. We found within a couple of months it was almost easier to bath him without a support once we were confident and with #2 never used one.
We used a fabric one in our normal bath and he seemed really safe and secure on that until he was 5 months. It meant we didn't have to use the baby bath at all. The fabric one did need washing but it was a lot softer for him to lie on when he was really little. I never tried a plastic one but thought it might be a bit hard for him. The fabric one is also easy to take with you if you go away.

Hello Ko

We have just a piece of foam, moulded in a head and shoulders shape, from Mothercare. Very cheap and simple. It has been very useful throughout, from when our daughter was small enough to lay down on it, to now when she just sits on it. It's nice and non-slippery.

just a tip for anyone else who finds it useful, if you do decide to get a bath seat from mothercare to fit into your little baby bath, take the bath with you to make sure the seat fits - because you can't return bath seats.


i was about to buy the seat without having checked, and then decided to doublecheck the returns policy. then had to go back again with the baby bath.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
