Taking a bath for a baby is an inevitable experience in taking care of them, and many parents often feel tired when bathing their babies. Because some babies may cry and fuss while taking a shower, many parents start considering using a bathtub for their babies as they grow older. So, how old should the baby use a bathtub?
The time for babies to use the bathtub is mainly based on their physical development. Generally speaking, it is best not to use a bathtub for babies before ten months old. When the baby reaches around ten months old and can sit comfortably and steadily, a bathtub can be used for bathing because the bathtub is deeper and has a relatively smaller bottom area.
If the baby has grown up and can sit independently, parents can give the baby a bath tub to take a shower. Compared to a bathtub, a bathtub has a smaller area and can hold more water, allowing babies to enjoy the pleasure of taking a bath. However, using a bathtub to bathe a baby may not be very convenient for parents to take care of. It is recommended that the best time to actually use a bathtub for a baby is after the age of six.
It is best for babies to take a bath in a bathtub, which is convenient for use. When the baby is young and cannot sit still, parents can easily hold the baby. In addition, the opening of the bathtub is relatively shallow, making it very convenient for parents to contact and take care of their babies. The bathtub can be used by both older and younger babies.
