thanks so much to all who replied. One more question: at what age did you start giving your baby a bath in the regular bathtub?

Once they could sit by themselves they always got a bath in the tub - because then they took with the others and it was faster to just give everyone together then individual baths.

Before they could sit I would sometimes just stick them in with the others and support them with one hand and wash with the others - but that was only if I was in a rush and they were due for a bath - I felt bad that the baby was missing out on the fun, relaxing experience of a bath (I really think babies like baths)

I have a tummy tub and I like it a lot. with small babies u just put in a small amount of water but u always have to stay close by. now that my baby is bigger he can sit for himself in the tummy tub. a cheaper version is the shantala bath. I never bought the stand , I put the tummy tub in the sink.

I hav this one. I've had it since DD (4.5) was a baby and I haven't stopped using it since. (DD outgrew it when DS, 2.5 came along, who outgrew it when the baby came along, who is using it now.

I also use it as a changing table and it's a huge spacesaver, bc I don't need a changing table in the baby's room.

my changing table is that but the enclosed version with formica drawers.... I threw out the bath part-why should I shlep buckets of water every time I need to bathe the baby?

That's what I thought at first, but here's what I found:
1) If you have a showerhead, you can roll the bathtub right next to your shower and let the showerhead fill the bath while you play with the baby
2) I never fill the bathtub up. Well maybe when they're really little and not sitting so I have to hold them anyways, but once they're sitting I only fill up like 3-4 inches (or enough to cover their legs) I also find that the kli for negel vasser is the perfect size for filling up the tub.
