Traditional hospital bathing practices can be stressful for newborns. Studies have shown that conventional sponge bathing can lead to a drop in body temperature and intense motor reactions that indicate distress.¹ Bathing a crying infant that is uncomfortable and in distress can be challenging for caregivers, especially when bathing the baby with only one set of hands.

Immersion bathing and swaddled immersion bathing have been shown to decrease crying and decrease temperature loss when compared to traditional hospital bathing methods.

Swaddle bathing is a proven, least-stressful method for both babies and caregivers. Unlike traditional bathing, this method provides warmth and a sense of security, reducing physical and behavioral stress.

TurtleTub Neonatal Swaddle Bathing System

The TurtleTub Swaddle Bathing System is an innovative approach to infant bathing that offers comfort, safety, and family-centered care for NICU and Well-Baby units. The System gives you the tools needed for a positive, comfortable experience for babies and caregivers, making swaddle bathing easy.

A specially designed fleece blanket with thermal properties is used to swaddle the baby to help prevent startle reflexes and maintain the baby’s body temperature. The built-in temperature strip helps caregivers maintain the water temperature within the appropriate range to keep the baby warm. The ribs and high sides of the TurtleTub support and stabilize the infant during the bath, adding to their sense of security.

The complete TurtleTub Swaddle Bathing System includes accessories to make bathing even easier. The accessories are available individually and in kits and packs to help save time when preparing for baby’s bath. Accessories include disposable liners, three blanket options, fragrance-free baby wash, rinse cup, brush, comb and scalp brush. The bathing cart, mesh storage bag, and cart caddy help keep everything organized.
