Frequently Asked Questions

We have listed for you some frequently asked questions about the TummyTub®: and its use:

• How do I hold my baby?
  In the "sitting" position the rounded shape of the TummyTub® helps to support your baby. You only need to support your baby's head under the chin. The advantage is that you always have one free hand to wash and comfort your baby. In the "floating" position you have one hand under your baby's chin, the other at the back of the head or you can place both your hands under your baby's armpits.
• Is it bad if my baby wants to stand up in the TummyTub®?
  No, because as your baby develops, the buoyancy of the water will encourage your baby to learn to stand.
• Does the TummyTub® help with colic?
  Yes, first you should massage your baby's tummy with some oil in a clockwise direction. Then give your baby a relaxing bath in the TummyTub®. This will certainly help to relieve any pain.
• Does the TummyTub® help with sleeping problems?
  Yes, a warm and relaxing bath is always soothing if sufficient water at the correct temperature is used. Ensure the water covers your baby's shoulders.
• Is the TummyTub® too narrow?
  No, babies enjoy the feeling of security and confinement that the TummyTub® affords.
• Is it possible that some bath supplements could destroy the surface of the TummyTub®?
  No, this is impossible.
• How do I clean the TummyTub®?
  Very easily, with a mild detergent. This will also remove any remains of bath and/or massage oil from the walls of the Tub. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
