Tummy Tubs: A New Trend in Baby Baths

A new trend in baby baths is sweeping the nation and it's called the Tummy Tub. The Tummy Tub looks shockingly like a bucket, and at first glance it appears that the baby has been placed inside by mistake. However, there are no mistakes in the design of the Tummy Tub, as it has been designed to precisely mimic a womb-like experience for baby.

According to the Today Show, and MSNBC, The Tummy Tub was designed by a woman, a mother actually, named Janice McKellar. While pregnant with her fourth child, McKellar began her search for an alternate way of bathing her baby; one that would support her child in a better way. She discovered a product called the Tummy Tub that was sold in other countries. Although it was originally invented in the Netherlands, and used in other countries such as Europe since 1996, she found that it was not yet offered in the United States.

Janice McKellar took it upon herself to bring the unique invention of the Tummy Tub to the United States. Now, she sells a full line of Tummy Tubs and related products at her website, Bathed With Love. Be sure to stop by the website and see the product for yourself.

What makes a Tummy Tub special? This unique baby bath is ingeniously designed to precisely mimic a womb-link experience, cradling the baby from the sides for a snug fit. Baby is placed in the tub, where they naturally fall into the fetal position. Allowing the baby to bath in this familiar position helps baby feel safe and reassured. In addition to being used as a baby bath, The Tummy Tub is said to be helpful in soothing a crying baby and an excellent comfort for colicky babies.
