E's Shoot with Shnuggle for their New Baby Bath

On Wednesday 4th March, E was invited along to Shnuggle's photoshoot of their brand new baby bath. We're based in Belfast so the office was a little bit away from us (plus we don't drive) but since reviewing their original baby bath and falling in love with it, I definitely wanted to be involved as I love the brand so much. After about an hours walk and 40 minute bus journey we finally arrived. 

E was all smiles with everyone before getting in the bath then she was more interested in trying to pick up bubbles and touch her toes which doesn't make for great photos. We tried all the tricks in the book - waving keys, playing peekaboo, playing music and we did get some nice ones! I'm just glad we had no vomiting or pooing in the bath! 

The original Shnuggle bath was suitable from birth to 6 months but with E's long legs she had outgrown it by about 5 months. It also had the wonderful Bum Bump which I honestly think all baths should now come with! 

The new bath is roomier and is suitable from birth to 12 months. The Bum Bump is still there - yay! - but it is moved forward so when your child's bottom gets a little bigger they'll still fit comfortably! I wrote in my original review that I dreaded E outgrowing her bath because I loved it so much so having one that will last a bit longer is the best news ever!

The original bath was made from foam but the new version is plastic but has a foam back to keep your babies little skin at a comfortable temperature. 

I cannot recommend the Shnuggle bath enough. If you've used a regular baby bath in the past, you'll know how awkward it is trying to hold your baby and wash them at the same time but the Shnuggle leaves both hands free for bathing!

The new Shnuggle bath will be available from May and it is priced at £20. You can pre-order them at the Shnuggle shop.

Shnuggle Baby Bath - Review

With us expecting baby #2 and the fact that we had gotten rid of all of C's old baby things, one of the things we needed was a baby bath.

Shnuggle sent us out one of their baths and I'll start this review by saying one thing; there aren't enough words in the English language to describe how much I love this bath. 

As soon as I opened it out of its box, I was a bit surprised that it was foam. I'd never seen a foam baby bath before and I was curious to see how it would hold water. The foam is actually super-strong polypropylene foam which means that it's lightweight (only 0.4kg!) durable and it's about 1000 times stronger than other foams. The foam makes it constantly feel warm (well, room temperature) as opposed to cold plastic baths. It's kind to your baby's skin too. 

It has a clever Bum-Bump (my favourite feature of the bath!) and sloping back so that your baby feels safe and secure. We had a regular plastic bath with C and I always had to have Chris here to help me bath him as I could never hold and wash him at the same time. The Bum-Bump makes washing your baby so easy. I don't even have to hold E at all now that she can hold her head.

The Shnuggle bath has been one of those items that I never knew I needed until I had it. There is no way I would ever use a regular baby bath now. It's a lot more compact too at 58 x 37 x 35cm.

The water shocked her!

The Shnuggle bath retails at £30.00 at Shnuggle's online shop. Seriously, at that price, go buy one. You won't regret it! It does your baby from birth to 6 months and I'm already crying inside. What am I gonna do when E is too big!? They also sell the most adorable Moses Baskets too so if you're expecting a baby, definitely pop over.
