A question for all mummies- what have u used or planning to use for bathing baby? Are you using small bathing tub for baby in big bath? Is anyone planning to use or have used bathing n changing stations like cossatto. ? I am confused what to buy.. I do like those nappy changing + bathing units but is it worth it? How long can you use that? Advice please ladies. Xx

Just using a baby bath, but my patents are from Africa so we bathe slightly different. Wr massage and stretch the baby whilst bathing them so the built in baths don't work too well. But that aside, I would think they grow out of them pretty fast, does not seem worth the money.
Good Luck honey

I used a fabric seat in the bath it coast £6 I've had baby baths before they get to much with lugging them around! I just fill the normal bath up with little water he sits on the seat & I have both hands free to wash him as when you use a baby bath you need 4 hands x

I have a "I love my bear " changing table and bath. I bought in mainly coz we have only a shower in our bathroom and coz I have back problems and there's no way I can be changing baby on the floor or bed all the time my back would break lol. But honestly I'm loving it. I can bath my baby and change him with no back pain as I can stand straight it's a god send for me. My Noah is 6 months and we still bath in there but to be honest if I had a big bath in bathroom I would bath him in there with one of them bath sits as he sits perfectly now. The one we have is still perfectly fine tho. I have everything handy in one place towels, nappies, muslin squares, creams, cotton wool, nappy sacks, he's bath toys.. etc. Theres plenty of room for everything. No looking everywhere for things as everything I need for changing or bathing is there. Ppl told me that changing tables or baths are a waste of money I think this is the best thing I bough for my baby.

I really struggled bathing Erin in the baby bath I bought her last week I bought a summer bathing chair from mothercare (mesh chair that goes in big bath) and we both love it!! Bathing time is so much better!

I just bought the Summer bathing chair too - wish I'd had one for ds1&2. It makes things so much easier. (mine was from Smyths Toys £14.99, but I think Tesco sell them for same price).

I had M&P changing and bathing unit for ds1 as unable to use big bath as in alcove - it was good but expensive and not used for long. For ds2 I had a bath that sat on top of a normal bath - saved you leaning over - it was good too but definitely happy with the chair I have now.
