about tummy tub
The idea for the TummyTub came from a real-life situation, practicality, and common sense of a young mother, Anita Belderok from the Netherlands. Although the bathing of babies in buckets had been used and endorsed by Dutch midwives & maternity nurses for some time, it had never been introduced commercially. For Dutch midwives & maternity nurses this ‘bucket therapy’ was already common practice, as they had found out that newborns were much more comfortable being bathed in a bucket, than in the mini-size version of the adult bath, commonly used since the fifties for bathing babies. TummyTub meets & exceeds all safety standards and is a member of the JPMA.
