Baby Bath Products Australia - Everything for Bathtime from Birth
Bathtime is one of the most important rituals of early parenthood - a chance to wind down, connect, and build a calming bedtime routine. At Peekaboo Baby, our baby bath range covers every product you need from your baby’s very first bath: from safe and supportive baby bath tubs and bath seats, to bath toys that make splashing genuinely fun, to soft hooded towels for wrapping little ones up warm the moment they step out. All bath products in our range meet Australian safety standards.
The right bathtime products do more than clean - they help your baby feel safe, calm, and comfortable in the water. Starting with gentle, supportive bathing equipment in the early months builds confidence and makes the transition to a full bath much easier as they grow. A warm bath followed by a gentle wrap in a soft cotton towel and cosy pyjamas is one of the most effective ways to signal sleep time to young babies.
What to look for in baby bath products
- Baby bath tub - For newborns, a small baby bath with a newborn insert or sling keeps your baby supported and safe at the right water level. Look for a non-slip base and a drainage plug for easy emptying. As babies grow, a seat insert keeps them upright while they play.
- Bath safety - Non-slip bath mats are essential once babies start sitting and become more active in the bath. Never leave a baby or young child unattended in or near water, even for a moment. Browse our bath safety range for mats, spout covers, and temperature indicators.
- Bath toys - Bath toys make bathtime engaging and extend the window of calm before bed. Look for toys that are easy to clean and quick to dry - toys with trapped water inside can grow mould. Open-ended toys like stacking cups and squirters are versatile and long-lasting.
- Hooded towels - A hooded towel keeps baby’s head warm and makes drying quick and easy. Look for towels in 100% cotton or bamboo blends for maximum softness and absorbency. Our cotton towels range includes options from newborn through to toddler sizes.
- Skincare-safe materials - Babies have sensitive skin. Choose bath products - from wash cloths to towels - that are free from harsh chemicals, dyes, and rough fibres. OEKO-TEX certified fabrics offer extra assurance.
Building a bedtime routine? Pair bathtime with the right sleep essentials - including sleeping bags, nightlights and white noise machines, and comfort loveys to help your baby transition from bath to sleep as smoothly as possible.
Bathtime - Frequently Asked Questions
Most healthcare providers recommend waiting until a newborn’s umbilical cord stump has fallen off and the area has fully healed - usually around one to three weeks after birth - before giving a full bath. In the meantime, a gentle sponge or top-and-tail wash is the safest option. Always use warm water (around 37°C) and make sure the room is warm before undressing your baby.
Newborns only need bathing two to three times per week - their skin is delicate and frequent bathing can dry it out. As babies become more mobile and start eating solids, daily baths often become more practical. The most important thing is to clean the nappy area, face, neck creases, and hands every day with warm water and a soft cloth, regardless of how often you do a full bath.
Ideal bathwater temperature for babies is around 37-38°C - warm but not hot. Always test the water with your elbow or wrist before placing your baby in, as these areas are more sensitive than your hands. A bath thermometer takes the guesswork out entirely and is a worthwhile addition to your bath setup. Never run hot water into the bath while your baby is in it.
Yes, when chosen carefully. Look for bath toys that are easy to clean, quick to dry, and free from holes or crevices where water can become trapped (trapped water can grow mould). Solid rubber squeaky toys, stacking cups, and waterwheel toys are popular safe options. Always check the age recommendation on the packaging and inspect toys regularly for signs of wear or mould.
Use a small baby bath tub with a newborn insert or hammock sling to keep your baby at the right water depth and fully supported throughout. Fill with warm water (around 37°C), have everything you need within arm’s reach before you start, and never leave your baby unattended even for a second. Support your baby’s head with one hand throughout. Bath your baby quickly and have a warm, soft hooded towel ready for immediate wrapping.
Newborn towels are small and designed for easy handling and quick wrapping of a tiny baby. From around three months, a standard baby/toddler towel (usually around 75 x 75cm to 90 x 90cm) is more practical and will last through the toddler years. Larger toddler towels in the 100cm+ range offer more coverage for children aged two and up. Browse our full towel range for options by size and age.
