Abstract
An infant bather having a top housing and a bottom housing detachably secured to the top housing. The top housing has a cradle with a first surface and a second surface and defines at least one aperture allowing a fluid to flow between the first surface of the cradle and the second surface of the cradle through the at least one aperture. The bottom housing has a basin with an interior surface and exterior surface. The second surface of the cradle coincides with the interior surface of the basin such that the fluid held within the basin submerges a portion of both the first and second surfaces of the cradle.

An infant bather, comprising:
- a top housing having a cradle with a first surface and a second surface, the cradle defining at least one aperture allowing a fluid to flow between the first surface of the cradle and the second surface of the cradle through the at least one aperture;
- and
- a bottom housing detachably secured to the top housing, the bottom housing having a basin with an interior surface and exterior surface,
- wherein the second surface of the cradle coincides with the interior surface of the basin such that the fluid held within the basin submerges a portion of both the first and second surfaces of the cradle.
An infant bather, comprising:
- a top housing having a cradle with a first radius of curvature defining a lowest portion of the cradle, the cradle having a series of holes;
- and
- a bottom housing detachably secured to the top housing, the bottom housing having a basin with a second radius of curvature defining a fluid threshold,
- wherein the first radius of curvature is juxtaposed to the second radius of curvature such that the fluid threshold lies above the lowest portion of the cradle.
A method for safely bathing an infant in an infant bather, comprising the steps of:
- providing an infant bather having a top housing and bottom housing, the top housing having a cradle defining at least one aperture and the bottom housing having a basin, wherein the basin has an overflow edge defining a fluid threshold that lies below a lowest portion of the cradle;
- placing an infant within the cradle;
- supplying a fluid to clean the infant;
- draining the fluid from the cradle through the at least one aperture to the basin;
- and
- maintaining a constant fluid level by allowing additional fluid supplied to clean the infant to displace fluid across the overflow edge.
