And I hear you on the not wanting to bend over. LO outgrew the Puj (I may have squashed her into it even when she didn't fit!) and now can sit up and I still bathe her in the sink, just with a little no-slip mat under her butt. She makes the kitchen soggy but it saves my back and some water! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-for-sink#post-2117772 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 19:54:07 +0000 macintosh 2117772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I found measurements for the Puj and my sink seems to fit their recommendation. The reason I want to do sink baths is because it's seems like it would be easier to do when he's little than crouching down by the tub. Someone gave me a used sling-type bather that can go in the tub, but I'm not thrilled with it.</p> <p>@youboots: I'm intrigued by the bath sponge. My sink is fairly shallow, so it seems like that would work. I saw a really cheap one from Buy Buy Baby, so I might try that first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-for-sink#post-2117609 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 15:51:53 +0000 MrsB2012 2117609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the blooming bath and love it. The petals are soft so you can manoeuvre them to position the baby well. It's nice and cozy so baby stays comfortable and really warm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-for-sink#post-2117511 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 12:59:27 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2117511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the same one as @Emsmems: and we love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-for-sink#post-2117505 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 12:52:49 +0000 Rocker2014 2117505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the $17 Summer Infant 1-2-3 from Target and it works great...the sling never let my squirmy newborn slip out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-for-sink#post-2117483 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 12:30:47 +0000 blackbird 2117483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We loved our Puj!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-for-sink#post-2117473 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 12:11:41 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2117473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are trying to find a tub that fits in the sink for space saving reasons we picked this one. Doesn't go in the sink but it fold flat and hangs when you are done. We don't have anywhere to store a regular plastic tub so I looked into the sink options too but this one will last a lot longer as they grow.<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Boon-Naked-Collapsible-Bathtub-White/dp/B005VLXIS4/ref=sr_1_35?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1427044165&#038;sr=8-35&#038;keywords=baby+bath+tub" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Boon-Naked-Collapsible-Bathtub-White/dp/B005VLXIS4/ref=sr_1_35?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1427044165&#038;sr=8-35&#038;keywords=baby+bath+tub</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-for-sink#post-2117448 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 11:28:00 +0000 Emsmems 2117448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got this one:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000067EH7/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1427041558&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=summer+infant+tub&#038;pi=AC_SX200_QL40&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=312T-GW3auL&#038;ref=plSrch" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000067EH7/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1427041558&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=summer+infant+tub&#038;pi=AC_SX200_QL40&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=312T-GW3auL&#038;ref=plSrch</a></p> <p>And while I didn't think about it then, I'm glad we had a hard, stand alone one. DS got too big for the sink (and made too big of a mess trying to splash) but he was still iffy sitting up unassisted in the big tub. So we put this one in the big tub for him to sit in. Just something else to think about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-for-sink#post-2117409 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 10:11:40 +0000 youboots 2117409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just use a summer infant sponge. It was $8 on Amazon and will work in the sink until she grows into the bigger tub we got. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-for-sink#post-2117404 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 10:09:20 +0000 Mrs.Waffles 2117404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love our 4 moms bathtub. It fits perfectly in our kitchen sink. But we mainly bought for the clean water feature. It has a clean water reservoir and side drains that drain the dirty water out while clean water flows in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-for-sink#post-2117400 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 09:57:43 +0000 travellingbee 2117400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Puj didn't fit well in any of our sinks.

I've seen mixed reviews on the Blooming bath and Puj tub. Has anyone used one that they really liked? Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-over-the-sink#post-444690 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:24:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 444690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like something like this. We also have a light on the ceiling between the sink and the stove that needs replaced. It needs at least three bulbs which posts a challenge. </p> <p>The rest of our house is pretty traditional, but I am hoping to go a bit more rustic/modern! </p> [attach=1506/12/mexex0.550x400.ry-3D400-1-.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-over-the-sink#post-444676 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:19:56 +0000 T.H.O.U. 444676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: Added a poll!

Gives it a nice, cozy institutional feel! (Kidding. But we rent, so they're going to stay, regardless of my feelings about them.) </p> <p>I like the multiple-pendant idea, although I'd pick something smaller than the ones in the photos above so they'd be less intrusive. I don't much care for single pendants--they often read "interrogation room" to me, and I don't think I'd like that while washing dishes, you know? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-over-the-sink#post-444626 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:06:39 +0000 MediaNaranja 444626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I like the 1st one that @prettylizy: posted. A bit wider but still has the pendant look. I don't think something like that would block the light or view! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-over-the-sink#post-444619 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:03:36 +0000 Sammyfab 444619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also vote for a wider light fixture or multiple small pendants. You should do a poll! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-over-the-sink#post-444617 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:03:21 +0000 T.H.O.U. 444617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks Ladies! I love the pendant look but aren't sure with how it would look with the wide window. Plus, I wouldn't want it to block the view of the window. </p> <p>I also have to figure out the blinds. The window faces the street so I guess I just need to put the mini blinds back up for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-over-the-sink#post-444612 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:02:20 +0000 Mrsbells 444612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I like the idea of something wider than a pendant light </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-over-the-sink#post-444611 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:02:10 +0000 Bao 444611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, a single pendant light would look great there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-over-the-sink#post-444608 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 10:59:49 +0000 prettylizy 444608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @Bookworm: I think a pendant light in that wide of a space might be too skinny and long. </p> <p>I would do either something like this with the wider light fixture or multiple smaller pendants. </p> [attach=1542/12/mexdrp.259x194.images.jpg] [attach=1542/12/mexdrr.422x600.pendants-over-sink-and-beaded-ceiling-mount.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-over-the-sink#post-444594 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 10:55:04 +0000 Bookish 444594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, I'm gonna be the odd one out and say pendant might be too obtrusive vertically, and too skinny.
