A swaddle immersion bath involves bathing a newborn while they are wrapped in a loose blanket. The baby and the blanket are immersed in a tub of water, while each limb is carefully unswaddled, washed, rinsed, and swaddled again. Swaddle bathing is a research-based, best practice for neonatal bathing. Swaddle bathing with the TurtleTub Bathing System can add value to your hospital. The TurtleTub is designed for safety, comfort, ease of use and infection control.
