Bath time is a special moment between parents and their babies, but it can also be stressful when it comes to ensuring the baby's safety. That's where bath supports come in; they are designed to help make bath time safer, easier and more comfortable for little ones and adult.

Bath supports are designed for new-borns and those unable to sit up unaided. The supports come in slightly different shapes, an array of appealing colours and sizes. Some are made in a textile material for a more luxurious and comfortable feel and others in sturdy plastic that provides a firm support and are quick to dry off. Both serve the function of cradling baby's body and keeping their heads, necks and body supported in a slanted vertical position that’s comfortable, and allows water to drain away from them as they are washed.

Features to look out for include portability and storage, suction feet to the bath tub for stability, being easy to drain off and clean, as well as having a good ergonomic shape that will be comfortable and hold little one in place.

Hence, bath supports or rinsers as they are also known as, make it easier for parents to wash their baby whilst they are placed within them, by providing more freedom for use of their own hands. This often imparts more confidence to wash and engage with baby, which in turn helps to keep them feeling secure and happy about being washing.

When choosing a bath support, it's important to make sure it's suitable for the baby's age and weight, and when being used to ensure that a carer is always present with the baby to ensure their full safety.
