4. Setup
Setting up your baby bath is simple:
- Choose a Location: Select a stable, flat, and safe surface for the bath. This can be inside a larger adult bathtub, on a sturdy bathroom floor, or in a large sink.
- Inspect: Before first use, and before each subsequent use, inspect the bath for any signs of damage or manufacturing defects.

5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for a safe and comfortable bath time:
- Fill with Water: Begin by filling the bath with water. Always test the water temperature with your elbow or a bath thermometer to ensure it is between 36-38°C (97-100°F). Do not exceed the maximum fill line indicated inside the bath.
- Place Your Baby: Gently place your baby into the bath, ensuring their bottom rests against the integrated bump support and their back is comfortably supported by the soft foam backrest. This design helps prevent your baby from sliding down.
- Bathe Your Baby: While keeping one hand on your baby at all times, use your other hand to wash your baby. The upright position allows for easy access and interaction.
- Remove Your Baby: Once bath time is complete, carefully lift your baby out of the bath. Wrap them immediately in a towel to keep them warm.
- Drain Water: Once your baby is safely out of the bath, open the drain plug at the bottom of the bath to empty the water.

Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your baby bath:
- After Each Use: Empty the bath completely. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.
- Cleaning: Wipe the bath clean with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the surface.
- Drying: Allow the bath to air dry completely after cleaning to prevent mold or mildew growth.
- Storage: Store the bath in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
