Summer Infant Touch Bather

Comment: My little guy is very active and wiggles ALOT. Yes, I have to keep one hand on him at all times, but the other hand is free to clean. I don't see how you can avoid that with an infant that can't sit up yet... in any case, he loves to splash in the water! so no sponge baths for him.

To facilitate cleaning, I use the J&J foaming soap, so I don't have to lather it. (Once you have a foaming pump, you can buy whatever baby soap you like, just water it down!).

I also like how compactly it folds down. I can store it under my sink.

When he's old enough to sit up, I'll probably change to a bath seat, since he'd have more freedom to move. Until then, this is a great solution!

Comment: We have 3 other older children and had to start all over with baby items, so we recieved this as a gift. Our son has been very alert and active since day 1 and this seat was not for him. Every bath was hard unless there was someone to hold the baby in the seat, while the other person washed. Even if he wasn't moving or kicking he still would slide down and to one side or the other until his bottom was hanging off and toes where up in the air...in other words this thing doesn't work, And he did make use of all his lung powers(he's a screamer)he didn't like this seat at anytime during the newborn stage. He is almost 7 months now and has the bath seat that sits the baby up. Those seem to be the best and most safe, we have used them with all our kids.

Comment: Bath time was a scream fest during the first few weeks at home! After several nights of lying her flat on the counter with a towel and listening to her screaming and crying, I decided to pull out the bath seat I got at my shower. I thought it would be too big for her (it is still but that means there's room to grow). I laid the towel in the seat and gave her the usual sponge bath and got NO TEARS! She loved it, at least liked it more than the lying flat method! It works great for these early baths before the stump falls off and I know it will be great in the tub later until she can sit up! Great product, and good price!
