The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

A baby bath sling is a product designed to make bathing newborns and small babies easier. It's typically made of soft foam or mesh material, supporting baby in a lying position in the bath tub and preventing slipping.

According to current pediatric practice, bath slings can be particularly helpful in the first 6 months because baby's head control isn't fully developed yet and both parents' hands aren't free. But what matters is: baby should never be left unattended — not even in a sling, not even for a moment.

A bath sling is no safer than the classic method (bathing with hand support); whichever you prefer makes no difference, what matters is having a stable and controlled grip. If you use one, make sure the sling has a non-slip base and is positioned so it doesn't cover baby's mouth/nose.
