Bathing Baby with the Blooming Bath

September 16, 2013 by Erin 77 Comments

This post is made possible by Blooming Bath.[*]

Bathing Baby with the Blooming Bath

The sink bath seems to be a rite of passage for babies. When I was pregnant, I remember seeing the Blooming Bath around the blogosphere and absolutely wanted one for our second child. But considering Bugsy’s birth weight {10 lbs} and his size now, I honestly had my doubts as to how long we would use it. There is no set age or weight limit on the Blooming Bath though, so I decided to check it out.

Bathing Baby with the Blooming Bath

Bugsy has had his share of sink baths and he always seems so uncomfortable, despite laying a bath towel down to cushion his little tuchus. I placed the Blooming Bath in the sink, and drew his bath. After double checking the temperature, I nestled him in the flower.

Bathing Baby with the Blooming Bath

True to Bugsy bath form, he squawked. Baths have always been met with tears. {I sincerely hope the folks at Blooming Bath don’t take this personal – ha!} But much to his chagrin, the boy must be cleaned!

For his next bath, we tried the Blooming Bath in our tub. Again, I laid the flower in the tub ran the water. This time the flower laid flat. Our bath has a shower door, which is awkward for baths as it is. And again, he squawked.

To better calm him, I precariously perched myself on the tub’s corner hopped in. Luv wanted to as well. Two clean kids, one bath? Works for me!

notice he isn’t crying in the bottom right picture! *phew*

After some soothing and playing, Bugsy seemed to actually enjoy a bath for once! I was relieved and Luv liked how cushy the Blooming Bath was. I suspect she will request it for all her baths now. I mean, what little girl wouldn’t want something pretty and soft to lay on while bathing? Considering Sissy’s request, I know our Blooming Bath will see plenty of use – well beyond baby!

Other Blooming Bath notables:
* Clean up is easy, I simply wring out what water I can and hang it {there is a handy hoop attached} up to dry. It can also be dried on low heat.
* All the leftover scrap material from making a Blooming Bath is used to create baby washcloths, minimizing waste in our landfills.
* The Blooming Bath does not hold water.
* Made with a super soft, plush polyester material, a high quality polyurethane foam, and a durable polyester mesh back.
* This may be common sense, but to ease my mind; please don’t leave your child unattended in the Blooming Bath!

    What a really great product to take a bath with. Also it looks so cute and I think keeps baby from falling over into the tub. The sounds like a product I would love to have!

    I wish that we would have known about these before having our son. He was always laying so awkwardly in the tub we got. It was also cold no matter what since it was hard plastic and he would be cold on the sling thing for newborns. I was always pouring water over him to try and keep him warm as much as possible and I could not fit the tub in the kitchen sink. The ONLY thing that worries me about the Blooming Bath is mold growing on/in it…

      We had a plastic baby tub with Luv and didn’t keep it after she outgrew it {which was quick}. That can’t be comfortable. I understand your concern about the mold, but if properly dried that shouldn’t be a problem. 🙂

    I think these are really cool, way more comfy than those plastic ones that were vogue when my 14 year old was a tyke. I wonder if you have to wash it every time. You know how cloth and even those nifty bath poofs you wash with harbor mold. Does this one get smelly, or is it a pretty easy tend? Just curious, because it’s so stinking cute, it’d make a great baby shower gift!
