Apron Towel
An apron towel is worn around your neck during bath time so it's ready the moment you lift your baby from the water. It helps keep you dry and makes it easier to wrap up slippery little bathers quickly.
Baby Bath
A baby bath gives your little one a smaller, more contained place to bathe. Some parents love them because they feel less intimidating than a full-sized bath, particularly in those early weeks when babies seem impossibly tiny and slippery.
Baby Lotion
Newborn skin isn't always as soft and flawless as the advertisements suggest. Dry patches, peeling skin and little rough spots are surprisingly common, which is why many families keep a gentle baby lotion on hand.
Baby Oil
Baby oil is most commonly used for massage, and baby massage is one of those things that sounds a little crunchy until you discover it can calm a grizzly baby surprisingly quickly. Many parents also use it on dry skin after bath time.
Baby Scales
Most parents don't need baby scales. But if you're monitoring feeding, weight gain or a premature baby, being able to check progress at home can provide enormous peace of mind between appointments.
Baby Shampoo
Some babies are born with enough hair to rival a rock star, while others spend their first year looking permanently windswept. A gentle shampoo helps keep little scalps clean once hair starts making an appearance.
Spout Cover
Bath taps are right at baby head height once little ones start sitting, sliding and trying to grab everything. A spout cover softens the edges and helps protect tiny heads from an enthusiastic bath-time bump.
Baby Wash
Babies may not be digging trenches or changing engine oil, but they somehow still get dirty. Milk dribbles, food smears, sunscreen, sand, mystery stickiness - baby wash exists to tackle all of it without stripping delicate skin.
Bath Books
Bath books are waterproof books designed for reading in the tub. They're often one of the first books babies can safely chew, splash and throw without anyone panicking.
Bath Dam
A bath dam creates a smaller bathing space within a standard bath. It's particularly handy when your child only needs enough water to wash, not enough to launch a small fishing vessel.
Bath Doll
A bath doll turns bath time into play time. For some toddlers, washing is merely an interruption to the important business of giving Dolly a bath.
Bath Flower
Bath flowers fit inside a sink to create a soft, padded bathing space for newborns. They're particularly popular with parents recovering from birth who don't fancy kneeling over a bath several times a day.
Bath Hat
Most babies don't care about shampoo. Most toddlers care very much. A hair rinser is designed to direct water away from the face, reducing the chances of turning hair washing into a full-scale negotiation.
Bath Plug Cover
Bath plugs have an uncanny ability to become the most fascinating thing in the room. A plug cover helps stop little fingers poking, pulling and investigating where they shouldn't.
Bath Seat
Bath seats help babies sit upright once they've outgrown newborn supports. They're often introduced during the phase where babies desperately want to sit up and see everything that's going on.
Bath Stand
Baby bath stands don't make much sense until you're bathing a newborn several times a week. Bending over a low bath gets old surprisingly quickly, which is why so many parents swear by having the baby bath raised to a comfortable height.
Bath Support Sling
A bath support cradles young babies while they're being washed. It frees up a hand or two, which becomes very valuable when you're trying to wash a baby who suddenly discovers kicking.
Bath Thermometer
Mums have been testing water with their elbow for generations, but a bath thermometer takes the guesswork out of it. They're particularly popular with first-time parents because it only takes one accidentally hot bath for you to become obsessed with checking the temperature forever after.
Bath Toy Storage
Nobody plans to own forty bath toys. Then somehow you own seventeen squirty sea creatures, three boats and a rubber octopus. Toy storage is less about organisation and more about stopping the bathroom from looking like a shipwreck.
Bath Toys
Bath toys are less about hygiene and more about cooperation. A well-timed toy can transform bath time from a wrestling match into the highlight of the evening.
Bubble Bath
For many children, bubble bath is the difference between having a bath and having an event. It's often introduced once babies become toddlers and start having opinions about everything.
Cotton Balls
Cotton balls are surprisingly versatile. Parents use them for cleaning little eyes, applying creams, wiping awkward creases and all sorts of tiny jobs that seem to appear out of nowhere.
Face Washer
A face washer is one of those products you'll reach for far more often than you expect. They're useful for bath time, meal times, sick days and pretty much any situation involving a small child and a mess.
Hair Brush
Even babies with very little hair often end up with a baby brush. They come with softer bristles and are useful for smoothing hair, tackling cradle cap and helping tiny humans look slightly more presentable for family photos.
Hair Rinser
Most babies don't care about shampoo. Most toddlers care very much. A hair rinser is designed to direct water away from the face, reducing the chances of turning hair washing into a full-scale negotiation.
Hooded Towel
Babies seem to lose half their body heat the moment they come out of the bath. And a hooded towel helps keep their head warm while you're drying the rest of them, and if you've ever tried dressing a cold, screaming baby after a bath, you'll understand why so many parents own one.
Inflatable Baby Bath
Inflatable baby baths pack away flat when not in use, making them popular for travel, holidays and homes where storage space is at a premium.
Knee Pad
Nobody buys a knee pad before having children. Then one day you find yourself kneeling beside a bath for twenty minutes while a toddler transfers water from one cup to another and suddenly it makes perfect sense.
Non-Slip Mat
Baths become a lot more adventurous once babies learn to stand. A non-slip mat provides extra grip under little feet and can help reduce slips and tumbles during bath time slip N slides
Shower Chair
Some babies prefer showers to baths, and some parents do too. A shower chair provides a secure place for little ones to sit while being washed under running water.
Plastic Scoop
You think you'll use it for scooping out toys. Then one day your baby does a poo in the bath, and you quickly realise you've accidentally purchased the most important tool in the entire bathroom.
Talc-Free Powder
Talc-free powder is designed to absorb moisture and reduce friction on the skin. While not as common as it once was, some families still use it to help keep skin folds dry.
Washer Mitt
A washer mitt slips over your hand and can make it easier to wash a wriggly baby. It's particularly useful when one hand is busy preventing an escape attempt.
