baby bath slippers?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Bath slippers for babies are generally not a necessary product for babies who are not yet walking. Bath surfaces are slippery, so slippers might be considered once your baby has started walking (usually 12 months and older). Even then, pediatricians often recommend bathing without slippers—barefoot grip helps develop balance and actually reduces fall risk, whereas slippers can increase it.

If your baby is walking and your bathroom floor is very slippery, choose a slipper with a firmly-gripping, non-slip sole that's waterproof. Avoid oversized slippers that constrict like rubber or models that trap water inside.

Pediatric consensus: bath slippers aren't essential for safety; most babies don't need them. Adding a non-slip mat or bath mat to your floor is a more effective measure.

Consult your pediatrician if you're unsure.
