Disclosure: The Near and Dear Baby Bather featured below was sent compliments of Angelcare.
A few years ago, I had two back surgeries in two years. While I am so thankful to be able to get on with my life, anyone who has had spinal surgery knows that the pain is never gone 100%- especially while bending over or lifting something. This pregnancy, one thing thing that worried me was bathing the baby. It’s just not possible for me to get up and down from the bathroom floor, especially with a squirmy baby in my arms. While using the kitchen sink or waiting for Dad to bathe her is a great plan, we all know that it doesn’t always work out that way! If baby spits up while Daddy is at work, I’m going to have to be able to take care of it.
When Skye showed me the Angel Care Near & Dear Bather I yelled at her “I NEED THAT!!” Immediately I knew that it was exactly the baby bath I needed to make it possible for me to bathe my baby safely! The Near & Dear Bather is a quick-dry, mildew-resistant, mesh bather that sits up to the perfect height for parents reach. It keeps baby up high so you don’t have to bend over! Can you see why I am so excited? It’s 17″ high!Never mind my back, as you can see from this picture, my husband is not a small guy. Our bathroom is very small and him getting on and off the floor, while humorous to me, is just not realistic. Now my big dude can bathe the baby in comfort, too. It’s perfect for big husbands everywhere.You don’t have to worry about it slipping in the wet tub because it has slip-resistant feet and locking legs. The lock is secure and makes an audible “click” so you know it’s engaged. To fold the bather for easy storage, you must compress the locks on both legs simultaneously which means you won’t accidentally fold it while it’s in use. I love these safety features!The Near & Dear Bather has a deep mesh seat for baby so you don’t have to worry about baby flinging herself out while you reach for the soap {NEVER leave baby unattended in the bath} and it goes to 25 lbs {or until baby tries to sit up} so I’ll be able to use this baby bath for a long time!
