Tummy Tub
For Dutch midwives and maternity nurses this ‘bucket therapy’ was already common practice, as they had found out that newborns were much more comfortable being bathed in a bucket, than in the mini-size version of the adult bath, commonly used since the fifties for bathing babies. Most babies have trouble adapting to their new world after being in the mother’s womb for nine months. Noise, bright light, less control of movement due to gravity at full force, hunger, thirst, digestion of food and a sensation of being lost in space without physical support, have to be coped with. This causes a lot of uneasiness for young human beings. The resemblance of the mother’s womb in size, warmth all over the body, a sheltered/filtered environment, support from the walls and bottom, as well as sitting in a familiar fetal position, calms a baby down. Due to the smaller water surface, the water also stays warmer for longer. Made in Belgium. BPA, Phthalate and Lead free. The original Tummy Tub has passed all worldwide stringent safety tests and standards including; ASTM (USA), BSI (England), TUV (Germany) and the GS Seal (Proven Safety). DONT BE FOOLED BY IMITATORS!
