    The Tummy Tub is supposed to ease the transition from womb to bath, and make newborn babies feel comfortable.

    New parents are nervous enough, and I certainly don't see how holding our children by the neck to bathe them would ease OUR transition.  Besides, throwing nearly 50 bucks at a tub that baby will quickly grow out of?  File this one under Not Necessary.
