Infant Tub

Everyone and their mama has some variation of this infant tub — and for good reason. It grows with Baby from the newborn stage, thanks to a handy sling you can place them in before they have head control, all the way until they're big enough to sit alone in the tub. It's a breeze to clean and cute to boot!

News flash: No parent likes to see their child crying, and even less so when it's due to some shampoo in the eyes during bath time. So make sure when you're out purchasing your bath supplies to look for shampoos that market themselves as tear-free.

Bath Toys

Bath time isn't half as fun without some child-friendly bath toys. Think the classic rubber ducky, plus some things that squirt, encourage hand-eye coordination, or even bath crayons! And trust us, as a parent, you're going to want a good rotation going just so you don't get sick of playing with the same toy over and over again.

Bath Toy Scoop/Holder

Remember all those bath toys we were just talking about? Well don't forget a place to store them all (unless you just like having millions of toys sitting in the tub)! The scoop/holder is ingenious because you simply scoop up the toys while there's still water in the tub and the holes at the bottom will drain all the water out. Then you just hook it onto the accompanying hook, and voila! The tub is clear and ready to go for next time!

Changing your baby can be one of the most loving moments of the day. With Pampers Sensitive wipes’ unique Softgrip Texture, your baby will enjoy less wiping for more gentle cleaning, which is a win-win for both Mom and Baby.

Plus Pampers Sensitive wipes are 20% thicker than Pampers regular wipes, which makes changing time easier for Mom and happier for Baby’s skin. So play that extra game of peekaboo on the changing table or blow a few more raspberries on their tummy, Baby won’t mind!

Flexible Shampoo Rinser

When it comes to cleaning all of those tiny folds of baby skin, there's nothing better than a soft washcloth. While there's nothing wrong with using just a regular washcloth, the baby versions are extra soft for Baby's sensitive skin. They're also useful for getting out those stray bubbles in their hair.
