So Little Mr Mirth arrived on July 15th and he has been lighting up our lives ever since. So far, he has been the closest thing to a perfect baby that I could have asked for (hope I haven’t just jinxed myself by saying that…….damn that innate Irish superstition!). The most wonderful thing about him is that he is constantly smiling, it’s like his default emotion is utter delight and he’s always ready to be happy with the world. But not not only is Mr Mirth a source of enormous joy to me, he is also an excuse to shop for fab baby stuff! As baby number three there was not much I ‘needed’ to buy for Little Mr Mirth but when I saw the Mebby Cocoon bath I just couldn’t resist it.
Yes we already had a baby bath but it was the traditional reclining kind and I’d always wanted to give the tub-type bath a go. Boy was I glad I did, this bath rocks! Little Mr Mirth absolutely loves it. From the minute I put him in it the first time, I knew this bath was worth the money. It makes so much sense when I think of it now but how much nicer is it to be sitting up to your neck in lovely warm water rather than lying back in just a inch or two of water? It is just so cosy and warm in there. Mr Mirth absolutely adores his daily dip, chuckling constantly and happily splashing about.
The bath comes with a removeable seat (recommended for small or premature babies) and a handy jug which can hang on the side of the bath when not being used. There is also a thermometer sticker inside the bath which helps you ensure that the water temperature is just right. Plus, the reduced surface area of the water in this bath means that the water stays warmer for longer so your baba can have a lovely long soak.
Before I tried it, I was worried that it would be very fiddly to try and support Mr Mirth while shampooing/washing him but it wasn’t. The shape of the bath means that it supports your baba in a secure fetal position which allows you to easily give him a shampoo your hairdresser would be proud of and to wash all those tiny limbs without any fear of giving him an unexpected dunk!
The bath has a wide base which makes it very stable and it has a really sturdy feel. The beauty of a portable bath like this is that you can use it anywhere and this feature is enhanced by the fact that this bath is lightweight and easy to carry and move when it is full.
In case all that doesn’t convince you, then maybe the environmental angle will hook you…this bath uses way less water than traditional baby baths.
It comes in a couple of different colour options and costs between £25 and £29Stg.
PS : A good companion to this bath is the matching Mebby Bath Toy Store. This is a clever two piece toy storage system which allows you to store and drain your baba’s bath toys in an easy hygenic way.
