Hot Tub Features Ideal for New Parents

Body-Specific Jets

As you hold a baby for extended periods of time, you may find specific parts of your body in pain. A baby's head needs constant support, and you may find yourself rocking and soothing a baby to sleep. The repetitive motions and extra weight could lead to pains in areas like your hips and wrists.

Hot tubs feature specific jet placement made for those areas of a body. For example, a wrist jet allows you to rest your arms and have the bubbles gently massage your wrist. The hot tub will help reduce inflammation and increase the blood flow in the wrist.



Additional jets offer focus directly on the hips. Hip pain can occur if you carry your baby a lot or rely on baby carriers when you are out in public. A daily soak in the tub will help relieve your hips and allow you to carry the baby without the extra pain in your hips.

Full-Body Stretch Seats

In some cases, the pains and aches you have could go across your whole body rather than in one specific spot. Look for hot tub designs with full-body stretch seats. In the seats, you can lay your whole body out and relax as jets pulsate around your body. Choose from different settings, including a gentle massage, or just enjoy the hot water.



With the water element and full support of your body, the hot tub relieves pressure on all of your muscles and joints at the same time. A built-in contour pillow can also offer extra head and neck support.

Sound-Dampening Enclosures

Newborns can be noisy. When you get the chance to take a break from the baby, the last thing you likely want to expose yourself to is more noise. Newer hot tubs are quiet with sound-dampening enclosures. The panels will block out excessive noise from pumps and heaters in the hot tub.



Your time in the water can include the relaxation and silence you seek. If you want relaxing sounds like music, then consider hot tubs with built-in speakers. Connect speakers to MP3 players, streaming services, or cell phones. Start a new routine where you meditate and relax in the water to help unwind.

Automated Cleaners and Filters

A newborn has not fully developed their immune system yet. The last thing you want to do is soak in a body of water with bacteria or viruses that could carry over to a child. With your own hot tub purchase, you can ensure you have clean and filtered water. Many hot tubs include automated cleaners and filters that ensure your water receives daily cleaning.

Filters will capture bacteria and debris in the hot tub and prevent it all from cycling back through the hot tub again. Many designs feature easy drain and refill options. Enjoy the hot tub without the extra worries, and know you are soaking in clean water. You are safe to hold your baby and do not have the extra worries that a larger pool, pond, or lake may represent.
