PostHeaderIcon Does any one recommend a bath sponge for baby?

Im looking for a new tub for my baby, he is out growing his fisherprice tub but he’s not big enough to be in the adult tub cus he cant sit up unsupported yet nd i dont have someone to hold him the whole time he is in the tub.
im not putting him in the kitchen sink, nd i dont like the bath seats or rings. My son (who is 5months) like to be somewhat in the laying down position in the tub, i saw there are bath sponges nd pillow type things to put them on in the tub, i wanted to know if anyone has used them nd what they think about them, specific names of types you liked/ disliked would be WONDERFUL!!
thanks!

**okay please dont answer the question if you havent even read it, im not looking for something to WASH HIM WITH, im looking for the thing that he lays on instead of a tub.

i’m still using it for my baby but i use it inside his bath tub so that he does not slip even though his bath tub comes with a hammock for babies who still can’t sit on their own i prefer using this sponge as my baby is able to be in the water so he doesn’t get cold,it’s a really good product and very economic just make sure to squeeze out as much as you can the water once you are done and hanging it,to prevent it from smelling
