MOST parents will know never to leave their little one unattended in the bath, even to grab a towel or answer the phone. <\/p>\n

But you might think your little tot will be fine if you leave them in a bath seat while you pop out of the room for a sec. <\/p>\n

But ex-paramedic Nikki Jurcutz warned parents that babies are just as vulnerable to drowning when perched in one of these nifty seats. <\/p>\n

In a recent post, the first aider behind the baby and child first aid page Tiny Hearts Education wrote: "Never leave your child unattended in one of these.<\/p>\n

"Even if it's to 'pop outside to get the towel'. Even if it's to 'quickly answer the front door'. Even if it's 'just for a second'."<\/p>\n

She added: "Please remember, baby baths were designed to be used with ACTIVE supervision, all the time, every time."<\/p>\n

Urgent warning to parents over baby bath seats after nine-month-old drowns<\/h3>\n

The former paramedic shared a message from one of the mums following the page as a stark warning to other parents. <\/p>\n

In her message to Tiny Hearts<\/span> , the mum wrote she'd had a 'big shock' after her little one tipped out of his bath seat when she took her eyes off him to speak to her husband. <\/p>\n

She explained that her son Ziggy – then eight and a half months old – has hypotonia, which causes decreased muscle tone in babies. <\/p>\n

The parents had been relying on a bath seat to give their little one a bath until he grew out of it. <\/p>\n

In a pinch, they decided to use his feeding chair to keep him upright while they bathed him and help his posture. <\/p>\n

The mum wrote: "Tonight I was bathing him, my husband came in to ask me something, I turned away for literally five seconds and out boy managed to tip himself forward and out of the chair into the water. <\/p>\n

"My husband pointed and rushed towards me, so I turned and grabbed our son so quickly and, thankfully, he's OK."<\/p>\n

The shocked mum stressed that she didn't even step out of the room during the scary incident. <\/p>\n

"I was beside him the whole time and it still happened!" she wrote, explaining that she only took her eye off Ziggy for a few seconds and "it happened so quickly". <\/p>\n

Though "it could have been a lot worse", the mum said she had received "a huge scare and a big shock". <\/p>\n

Nikki emphasised that babies are still at risk of drowning when left unattended in a bath seat, referring to statistics published by the UK's National Child Mortality Database. <\/p>\n

She said the agency had reported the drowning of seven infants in a bath between April 2019 and March 22. <\/p>\n

"In five of these cases, bath seats were being used," the ex-paramedic stated. <\/p>\n

While the nifty seats can be a useful tool to making bathing easier and help prevent your baby slipping, parents should never be complacent when using them, Nikki went on. <\/p>\n

She shared three bath seat safety tips parents should keep in mind when placing their little ones in them: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Always be within arms reach of your baby <\/li>\n
  2. Actively supervise your baby when they are in the bath water <\/li>\n
  3. Never leave your baby unattended in the bath, not even for a second<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
