AKAP-nurse Regina, nurse
Birgitta from Essen:
|
|
Christel
Ernst, midwife from Langendernbach: |
| |
"We use TummyTub® in the ambulant
childcare. Both nurses and mothers are enthusiastic. We also find it very
positive that we need far less water for the TummyTub®." |
|
"I have tested TummyTub®
with patients at home and am totally smitten." |
| |
|
|
|
| Kathleen Weinrich from Garbsen-Havelse: |
|
Claudia Holtstiege, midwife from
Kirkel: |
| "The TummyTub® could perhaps be
a bit more colourful, but apart from that it’s great." |
|
"I am very enthusiastic about the TummyTub®
as is every midwife I know. It is excellent." |
| |
|
|
| Christiane Friedrich BCLC, qualified
advisor on breastfeeding and lactation from Hamburg: |
|
Silke Fichtermayer, midwife from Homburg: |
| "Both as a qualified adivsor
on lactation and as a nursery nurse, I use the TummyTub® for restless
babies in the maternity wards and in the breastfeeding classes of the hospital
(1.800 births/year); fantastic!" |
|
"The TummyTub®
is simply fantastic. Never before have I seen such relaxed babies.
For mother and child it is a dream come true."
|
|
|
|
| |
| Barbara
Ziemann, nursery nurse from Solingen: |
| "We use the TummyTub®
very successfully at night when babies are restless." |
| |
|
|
First of all, from a medical point of view, I consider
the position of the child in the TummyTub® as being very good, as the
newborn is able to contact the wall both with its hands and feet. This creates
for the newborn a situation similar to the womb. It can move its feet and
arms freely, which leads to careful scanning of the available room. This
in contrast to the traditional ‚childrens‘ bath, in which the
baby – because of the size of the bath – can’t touch the
walls at all. Apart from that, is it hindered in its movements by the hands
of the father or mother. That’s why I – as a doctro – can
recommend this kind of bathing with the TummyTub® to every maternity
hospital." |
| Prof. Dr. med. Dirk
Heinrich, medical superintendent of the gynaecological department of the
Pforzheim hospital: |
"Being the medical superintendent
of the gynaecological department of the Pforzheim hospital I learned about
the TummyTub® in a very early stage.
|
|
|
The personnel of our maternity
units, as well as the personnel of the nursery wards, and the teachers
of the pre- and post natal classes asked for this bathing device.
That’s how I was able – as soon as this bath was available
– to judge personally, that a baby feels very comfortable in
the TummyTub®. |
|
| |
At one of my night rounds I
visited a baby, who was crying inconsolably, while the mother was at her
wits‘ end. To handle this situation I recommended a bath in the TummyTub®,
and in my and the midwifes presence the baby was bathed. After a short time
the baby calmed down and was apparently feeling very happy. |
|
|
| |
| Anita Lohse, midwife
from Lüneburg: |
| "What a pity the TummyTub®
wasn’t there before. An absolute winner." |
| |
| Ingelore Lindner, midwife
from Dorsten-Wulfen: |
"Parents adore the TummyTub®."
|
| |
|
| |
Barbara Spandau, nursery
nurse from Waiblingen: |
| |
"It definitely
eases the care of babies at home, because it is handy and it gives security.
Mothers very much approve of the TummyTub®." |
| |
|

Nicole
Firtzlaff, physiotherapist from Großallmerspann:
|
|
Marina Preikschas, midwife
from Gütersloh: |
| |
"My son Nils
is now six months of age and slowly we have to learn to use a bigger bath.
We hate to say goodbye to our TummyTub® and would just like to say thank
you for this wonderful invention. Our little one loves water and we think
this is partly due to the TummyTub®. As a physiotherapist I have a lot
of questions to answer, wether sitting in the TummyTub® could do any
harm. It most certainly doesn’t. The upward pressure of the water in
the TummyTub® gives the child much more stability than it gets in any
other bath. Thank you again, I hope a lot of mothers will buy the TummyTub®.
It is really something special."
Nicole Merz, midwife from Hünfeld-Ohren:
"Stick’m in and be happy – just perfect! I was very
sceptical about this bathing bucket at the beginning. But after two baths
I have changed my opinion radically. Babies love to bathe in the TummyTub®,
are at ease, even laugh and are totally relaxed. My compliments!" |
|
I’m an independent midwife,
give classes and use the TummyTub® after the babymassage. So far I have
only had one baby that didn’t seem to like the TummyTub®. I myself
use it a lot and think it’s an excellent product." |
| |
| Christine Schleier, midwife
from Zeil: |
|
"The women who have just given birth are very happy with the TummyTub®.
The initial doubt disappears the moment I have taught them how to use
it.""
|
| |
| Sandra Zimmermann, midwife
from Ratingen: |
| "I will definitely recommend
the TummyTub® to everyone." |
| |
| Heike Scholz, midwife from
Burgwedel: |
Heike Scholz, midwife from Burgwedel:

Ursula Angersbach-Mafuruse,
midwife from Schenklengsfeld: |
|
Jutta
Thiel-Hüfner, nursery nurse from Kreuz-Wertheim: |
| |
"Everybody loves the TummyTub®."
|
|
"I have tried
the TummyTub® with my own child, which is at the moment 6 weeks old.
Our son is perfectly happy in the bathingbucket. He didn’t cry for
once or show distress. He is totally relaxed and enjoys the bathing. I would
recommend the TummyTub® anytime. When our son will be too big for his
bucket, the TummyTub® will move to the babyroom of the city’s hospital,
so my colleagues can test it themselves. I classify the TummyTub® as
very good." |
| |
| Ute Schendel, midwife from
Bruchköbel: |
| "The handling of the TummyTub®
is very easy for both mother and father. I recommend the TummyTub® in
all the classes I teach. The enthusiasm for it is enormous." |
| |
| Corina Schiekel, midwife
from Dipoldiswalde: |
| "Parents simply love this
kind of bathing." |
| |
|
|
|

Barbara
Ziemann, nursery nurse from Solingen:
|
|
Manetta
Bieler, nurse from Illingen:: |
| |
"We use the TummyTub®
very successfully at night when babies are restless." |
|
"I love the TummyTub®.
The newborn and infants have a lot of fun while bathing. Unfortunately,
in our nursery ward we don’t have as much time as the mothers at home." |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Manuela Heim, midwife from
the community hospital Mellrichstadt: |
| |
|
"Perhaps the graduation
in weight at the sides could be better readable. But for the rest I think
the TummyTub® is excellent for the babies relaxation." |
| |
|
|
| Jutta Laufer-Wilhelmi from
Haina/Kloster: |
| "Pure bathing fun! Bath
for parents and child. Especially the children with colic – mentioned
in your brochure and video – relax super. Apart from that I have noticed
on more than one occasion that babies who have troubles belching, do this
immediately, when they are in the TummyTub®. Furthermore I think the
handling and the small amount of water needed, is brilliant." |
| |
|
|
|
| |
Gabi
Horn-Stinner, midwife from Marburg
|
|
Marianne Dresen, midwife
from Stollberg: |
| |
"Very easy for mothers
to carry (when filled with water). Bathing is possible in the baby’s
room on the commode, very relaxed babies, especially premature ones from
2000 grams or more, doesn’t take much space in small homes." |
|
"The TummyTub® meets
with a wide response by my grandchild. The moment she sees the bucket, she
goes in! Even now after 20 months of age!" |
| |
|
|
|
| |
Christiane Albrecht, midwife
from Ilfeld: |
|
Maren Walter, midwife from
Alsbach: |
| |
"The TummyTub® is easy
and practical in use, and saves space. Because of the foetal position, newborns
feel better than in a normal bath. In our maternity we always introduce
the TummyTub® to mothers; most of the parents (85%) are enthusiastic."" |
|
"As an independent midwife,
I help the women at home. 10 days after the birth, I bathe the children
for the first time. In the TummyTub® the kids are more relaxed and enjoy
the bathing better. For parents it’s also easier and more pleasant!" |
| |
|
|
|
| |
Annette
Materne, midwife from Salzgitter:
|
|
Ruth Hashagen, midwife from Schwalbach: |
| |
"Babies are
more relaxed and more playful. The younger the child, the easier it adopts
the bath. Stressed babies don’t cry but relax. For babies from 9 to
11 month it is a very good training learning to stand." |
|
"At first I was sceptical,
but now I’m a believer!" |
| |
| Anna
Brüchert, midwife from Göttingen: |
| "Most children – my
15 months old grandchild included – still love to go in, although they
are actually too big." |
| |
|
|
|
| |
Gertraude Jahnke, midwife
from Hannover: |
|
Ingrid Beckers, midwife
from Alsdorf: |
| |
"The children are wonderfully
relaxed and quiet. Many fall asleep immediately. The parents are also enthusiastic
and the price ist just fine." |
|
"Babies with colicy problems relax very fast, feel really happy,
because they can feel the walls on all sides just like in the womb."
