How do you bathe your newborn without a baby bathtub?

Ka

My son is due for a good bath but as first time parents we’re still not totally sure how to go about it. He had a couple of baths in the hospital NICU but since he’s been home we’ve been mostly wiping him down as needed. He was really tiny and we wanted to wait until he was bigger before worrying about a real bath. Now that he’s over 8lbs, we’re less concerned.

So how do you bathe your baby when you don’t have a baby tub? Do you use the sink and lay a towel in it to make it soft / less slippery? Do you bring baby into the shower with you? (If so, how do you do so safely?) Or do you just give sponge baths?
