A MOTHER from Redcar has designed the first twin baby bath of its kind, after struggling to find anything on the market suitable.

Laura McGlade, a mother of three, had trouble attempting to bathe her new-born twins as well as keeping an eye on her 18 month-old.

Laura, CEO and founder of Bumblebeez said: “The first problem arose when figuring out how to get them both in the bath safely. One would be in the bath whilst the other was on the changing mat.

“To get the second baby in the bath I would have to let go of the first baby and quickly put the second baby in the bath, bracing both their heads together to prevent them from going under the water.”

The difficulty did not end once the babies were in the bath, however.

Laura was then unable to pick up a sponge and apply the baby wash to her two bundles of joy, without having to take her attention away from one of the babies.

The desperate mum searched the internet for anything that may resemble a twin bath but was unsuccessful in her search.

She even purchased two single baby baths but was disappointed that the challenge did not end there.

She quickly realised what she needed wasn’t on the market and needed something to accommodate new-born twins to keep them in a safe position and allow her to wash each baby safely.

After 4 years of development, The Twin Bath is now available for retail. The Twin Bath allows the babies to be seated securely, side by side and enables the mum to remain hands-free.

Laura aims to help millions of twin parents manage one of the crucial factors in an easier, safer and stress-free way.

The bath is designed to fit into any tub and support two infants up to 6 months old, where they can sit side by side in the water unaided but still enabling the twins to touch, which is important to avoid separation anxiety.
