Mara - I have the Tummy Tub and Daisy loved it when she was tiny. She does still fit, but we tend to have bathtime in the morning so she comes in the main bath with me or we take a shower together if we''re in a rush. You definitely need to use the Tummy Tub on the floor as it''s tippable - Daisy was also very keen to stand from when she was a couple of weeks old and used to constantly stand up in it which gave me the scare of my life the first time.
It is useful if I want to bath her in the sitting-room, also when it was very hot in the summer I would sit her in it in cool water and she seemed pretty happy. If I had a baby with colic I imagine it''s brilliant as warm water seems to help a lot of colicky babies. You don''t need a lot of water in it so it''s easy to carry around and the baby also stays nice and warm up to their neck rather than having most of themselves exposed to the air.
It is a little tricky the first few times - you roll them up in a towel and wash their hair first (use a cup to rinse) and then plonk them in to wash the rest - as you need to keep one hand under the chin to stop them flopping in face-first, but getting them clean is super-easy.
Most of the time ours is now used to pre-soak any stained baby-clothes before they go in the washing-machine. So, it does double as a useful albeit expensive bucket!
Protective sheets - I have some from hippychick which are very thin, but really work and cover most of the mattress. I also use them for nekked time on the floor!Talking of hippychick, I recently bought their hipseat which is fantastic and really works well.
Fiery - I have the Jumperoo and the Bumbo. Jumperoo is seriously fantastic and Daisy LOVES hers. I have on occasion had a WHOLE hours peace and quiet while she plays in it, and her feet still barely touch the floor so she has loads of growing room still. The Bumbo was a disaster - she hates it and learnt to throw herself out of it within days, I plan to give mine to my brother in the hopes that his son will enjoy it better!
