Many many moons ago there was a post about a link where you could get this bath pail that keeps the baby in the fetal position when you bathe them. It is popular in the UK, but I cannot find on the internet a place in the US to get one. It is sometimes known as a Shantalla pail. Anybody have a copy of the post on here that talked about them?

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: January 1980 Yamaha RD200 vs 16 wheeler truck, result, 1 totally paralysed right arm. I was 21, now 54. I had no surgery, I don't regret this. Decided to totally ignore limitations (easily done aged 21) adapted very quickly to one handed life, got married, had 3 kids, worked- the effect of the injury on my life (once the pain stopped being constant) was minimal and now, aged 54, I very rarely even think of it, unless I bash it or it gets cold, then I wish I'd had it amputated :) Except for a steering knob on my car, I have no adaptations to help with life, mainly because I honestly don't think of myself as disabled and the only thing I can't do is peel potatoes, which is definitely a good thing.
Re: Tummy Tub (non BPI)
...nothing non-bpi about this, Kelli, it's the ONLY safe way to bath a baby one handed if you have a total bpi!
Here's a link to a pic of me bathing my oldest daughter in an ordinary bucket many years ago (she'd die if she saw this now....) and there are links underneath to companies that sell the Tummytub. http://tbpiukgroup.homestead.com/baby_bath_bucket.html
