The plush, flower-shaped bath seat insert from Blooming Bath is like nothing I've ever seen. It provides a soft, safe place for babies to rest their little bottoms during cleaning time--easier than bathing a newborn in a plastic bathtub that's five times bigger than her body. The Blooming Bath also keeps her in one spot kind of by swaddling them with its petals.
I have to say I was a little wary of it when I first used it, since the idea of wrapping my son in a gigantic sunflower just seemed a little odd. But when I plopped him into the flower it magically (or scientifically, thanks to a combo of antimicrobial foam and tricot mesh) kept him propped up and comfy.
The Blooming Bath is also super-easy to clean. You just hang it from a bathroom hook to drip-dry, or toss it in the dryer. When my little guy has outgrown it, which will be soon, he can use it as a soft seat on our hardwood floor. -Melissa
