Not sure about the baby and the bath-water but the talk of tin baths - Friday night bath-time for me in the kitchen, as I was the youngest I think the others had their baths at a different time, Pears soap (I can still smell it) all bring so many memories back. Fennings Fever Cure, Malt Extract, wearing a Liberty bodice, pink pads to put on the chest (can't recall the name), Cod Liver Oil Capsules, etc., etc., - all to keep the colds at bay (didn't work though!). An orange or a few grapes (luxuries) from the street cart to help me get better if I had been ill - worked like magic.
