Newborn bath tub?

[noodleoo]

We're trying to buy the last minute things that we still need before baby arrives.  The one thing I cannot for the life of me decide on is a newborn bath tub/support.  I have no idea what we need and there are so many options! 

My SIL has the Stokke tub and newborn insert and she liked it, but the reviews aren't very good at least for the newborn insert. 



What do you guys like and recommend?

Our local hospital gives everyone the common blue tub from target (can't remember brand) that has newborn sling. I've had no complaints.

I have the boring blue (well mine is pink) one as well. I find no reason to spend more. We used it for about five months and it worked just fine.

we went simple, and had the whale tub. it worked for us. i don't think the bath tub is something you need to go fancy for.

Yeah we have the basic plastic blue tub with sling. A tub is not the place I'd splurge, gear-wise.

We have this. It works just fine. No complaints.

When did you start bathing your newborn in the tub versus giving a sponge bath?

We got the Summer Infant Right Height. DH was all about it since it can be used so many ways. We started bathing her in it after her cord fell off.

We have the Fisher Price whale tub and it has been just fine. My kids are getting close to outgrowing now and like to try sit up in it. So I don't think it's worth it to spend too much on it when the're only going to use it for such a short period of time.

We loved our whale tub.

Canadian babies get a tub bath on their birthday.
They're tougher than American babies.

I liked this one because she was so tiny, and I wanted to do sink baths. I also loved that it folded up.

 
I don't think I'd pay $35 for it, though. 

We used it until she was able to sit up on her own and then switched to the whale thing, which was probably unnecessary. We only used that for a month or so before switching to just a bath in the tub.
