We bathed with our babies till they could do it themselves. It was very safe, comforting to a newborn who wasn’t used to all that water, and lots of fun. The few times a tub wasn’t available, we used a folded up towel in the sink.

And “boo” to Katie, who seems to have mistaken scorn for enthusiam.

Talking with an older lady who is an occupational therapist and has back problems of her own, she said that washing babies in the laundry tub is ideal as you usually don’t have to bend far, if at all, and you don’t have to lift a tub to tip out the water – just pull the plug.

Yeah. as “survivor” who was bathed in a tub or sink with a towel in the bottom, I don’t get the special baby tub either.

My cousins my age (30s) from outside the USA were washed in river water collected and then heated to the proper temperature in a bucket. No running water in the house. No baby tubs. No special disinfectant wipes and pads on the corners of the table. No deaths or illnesses. 7 kids. You know what they did? Kept an eye on them all the time and used common sense.

It is now a year later and Unclutterer had this on their “A year ago on Unclutterer” today. I remember looking at this last year for a friend in a small apartment having a baby. The Puj Tub is now $39.99. That is a little more than 1/2 the FP tub I got as a gift. And it is about 1/3 the original price. It is finally a good deal.

I have a 6 month old and this would have worked for her for about…. I dunno… 8 weeks or so. After that, she would have wiggled too much and hit herself on the hard faucet.

Somehow this comment ended up on today’s unitasker instead of here… trying again…

We do have the storage problem, and knew from the beginning that a giant plastic tub would be a stupid idea.

We had a folding mesh wedge stand thingy for the kitchen sink that cost about $15. It came in handy for letting the grandmas bathe the baby, but we didn’t even really need that. Baby bathed with me in the tub until she was able to sit up at 5 months. Now she sits on a squishy foam shower pad in the main bathtub, and we hang it up on the towel rack to dry when she’s done.

I found an eggshell foam (like convalescent mattress pads) shower mat with hole for the drain in the center. Mushed into the sink, it covered all the hard spots. After drying on a towel rack, it stored in a drawer.

This is why people invented sinks and bathtubs. I ditched the plastic baby tub when I had baby #2…they seriously are a waste of space and money. There is nothing difficult about washing a baby in a tub or a sink, just lay a towel down before you put a little water in.

$99 is a crazy price! I always bathed my babies in the bathroom sink and they all 4 lived to tell about it.
Less is more.

Hi, this is Katie from Puj. I am happy to see so much enthusiasm for the new Puj soft Tub. I love the minimalist comments as it is our mission to simplify parenthood.

The Puj tub is the best infant tub in existence. No question. It is calming for baby, simple for parents, and makes bathing easier. That is what we designed it for and that is what it does. We have numerous accolades we could post, but you should just try it.

If any of you are wanting to try the Puj Tub out for yourselves I wanted to pass along a promo code to all of you Unclutterer readers. For 20% off of any Puj purchases just enter promo code “unclutterer” at the checkout.

I’ll agree with everyone else here – it’s overpriced and unnecessary.

Grammar pet peeve – you’ve likely conflated ‘wary’ and ‘leery’. It’s a common mistake, but one that ranks up there with the lose/loose confusion for me.

We used a $5 bear-shaped sponge from BRU in our sink. Worked great.

We bathed our daughter in the kitchen sink or in the bath with one of us until she could sit up, then in the bathtub on her own until she could wash herself unsupervised. This product is crazy-priced, and I think a folded towel would work just as well to cradle a small baby in the sink and provide padding.

I mean, not to add to the dogpile about this product. I guess if the choice is between the usual baby bathtub, which doesn’t collapse and takes up a lot of space, and this product, then the Puj Tub is the way to go. But I think that the better minimalist solution is “neither.”

Both kids, I just take (took) them in the bath/shower with me. I need washing too, and I love baths. I think we only bathed my older one in the sink once before I figured this out.

@Gabriel- I never had to run extra water to rinse my baby. Babies shouldn’t have a bubble bath, so we used a small amount of soap on the washrag and were able to scoop from the already perfect temperature water to rinse the soap off.
I think either the giant sponge or a towel in the bottom of the sink is the way to go.
