I've been using the shnuggle bath and gave baby her first bath at 1 week old. It does support her to sit up well (I rest my hand under her chin to stop her slouching forward) and she seems to like it. The only negative I find is that the seat makes it hard to get to her bottom but I just give that a good wipe with wet cotton wool first.

It's fab - love it and so does our baby! She's nearly 5 months and starting to look a bit big for it now (she is big) but I'm reluctant to move on as it's so brilliant

Another thumbs up for the Schnuggle. Still using ours. Mainly because we don't have a bath, but even at nearly a year of use it's holding up.

No! Don't buy it - it cut my babies (I have two) feet. If you search on here for "Shnuggle cut my babies feet" you'll see lots of similar complaints with photos.

how did those of you with 2dc use it for the second??
We had one for DD, but she'll be just over 2 when DC2 arrives, and was planning on then stickiing them both in the big bath together?

We put the schnuggle in the big bath and fill them up to the same level. Toddler in big bath, baby in schnuggle. The water in the schnuggle goes cold much quicker so nice to be able to refill in there. Helps keep baby’s older sister from “helping” too much!

We have been using ours for dd2 and since around 4 months we put it in the bath with dd1 (obviously didn't fill it any higher than the fill line)
dd2 is now 7 months and in a angelcare bath seat now that she can sit up, so our shnuggle has gone through 4 babies (dd1, my cousin's baby, a friend's baby and back for dd2)

I read a thread on here a couple of days ago with lots of mums sharing pictures of cut feet from the Shnuggle
