Every new parent struggles with bathing their newborn, but this positioning sponge makes it effortless. Just fill your kitchen sink with body temperature warm water, till the level of the sponge, and place the infant on his back, nestled in the cutout. The sponge keeps him safely positioned, so your hands are free to bathe him. Remember newborns are bathed with warm water only, no soap nor shampoo. We buy this item by the dozens, to give away as shower presents (I run a health care organization, which employs hundreds of young women).
