Baby Tubs- Safe First

A simple solution for parents struggling with creative ways to get their children clean without resorting to frustrated tears (from the parents!) is baby tubs. Recently, at a friend's baby shower, three separate quests arrived with bathtubs as presents (a gift registry is not always accurate!) which made me realize how important tubs for baby are for both the parents and the infants.

 

The Aqua baby bath ring creates a secure environment for bath time as your baby begins sitting up. The ringed seat safely holds baby while still allowing freedom to move about. The seat is non-slip and the contoured back lends extra support. Large suction cups provide stability and the adjustable bath ring fits to the shape of your bath. Think of it as a floating high chair in the water! For ages 6 months and up for children weighing less than 28 pounds.
The inexpensive, lightweight Safety 1st Kirby inflatable tub can be shipped directly to your home through small parcel ground. These soft inflatable baby tubs make an ideal transition from an infant tub to an adult sized bathtub. The Kirby inflatable tub is designed with comfortable material for your baby and turns bath time into playtime! After bathing, just unplug the drain plug and the tub hangs up for easy drying and storage.

 
A Munchkin Safety Duck Baby tub is an adorable duck tub with a security disc inside that will turn white if bath water is scalding hot. These compact, inflatable baby tubs are padded with a surface texture that helps prevent slips. Portable tubs deflate and fold easily making them perfect for traveling. A contoured headrest helps you wash baby's hair with ease. Children are not overly concerned with the safety features but adore squeezing the duck's beak!
An upright baby tub benefits newborns and parents by helping provide a safe and relaxing bath. Baby bathtubs made of safe non-toxic plastic allow for a natural position which helps to calm and relax babies. Using this creative design, your baby bathes with their feet resting against the bath wall, and the contoured tub supports baby's back.

 
Colicky babies find bath time relaxing in an upright baby tub. An additional bonus is baby does not get cold even during hair washings! A baby tub is designed so as to be used anywhere and its unique design prevent spills from water splashing. No more slip sliding away trying to bathe your infant in the sink or conventional tub!

Toilet training products just for Boys

If you're wondering how to potty train boys, take heart because you are not alone, and there are lots of tools and guides available to help you learn. Rather than having to rely on your own ingenuity and a little advice from relatives who've already trained their kids, you can find all sorts of information and products you can use to help potty train your child. From toys and visual aids to DVDs and books, you're going to get a lot of assistance in this process.

First are the visual aids. These can help in potty training your child by allowing you to give him demonstrations of the actual process of using the bathroom. Many organizations make picture books that allow you to show him what it look like for a boy to go potty, and what's actually happening.

Other manufacturers carry this help beyond just pictures, and make potty training boy dolls that recreate the process. You give water to the doll, and soon it comes out the other end. You can show your boy how the doll sits on the potty and goes to the bathroom.

Other products that help potty train are on the practical side. These items would involve things like pull-ups the child can wear instead of diapers, with the front of the pull-ups reinforced with extra padding. And eventually the child would move on to actual underwear. Meanwhile, there are all sorts of potty training chairs or seats you can buy for your boy to use. He will likely learn to use the potty sitting down at first, but once you teach him to stand up to pee, you can even buy little urinals that either fit on the side of the toilet bowl or are situated in their own stand.

Those products are particularly tailored to potty training a boy, but of course other merchandise is available to help potty train either boys or girls. Some toilet seats will work equally well for both. You can buy charts to put onto a wall or your fridge, where your child can keep track of his progress with little stickers. Other companies make "rewards" for the child, such as toilet stickers or temporary tattoos or appliqués for a t-shirt. To make the process go a little more smoothly and less traumatically for your boy, you can find helpful products that will make the job easier.
