Bath, skin and nursery on this shelf

This is the section that fills the gap between the changing table and the sink, and now the floor around both. Ointments and jelly come in 4 and 13 ounce tubs; the wash is a single bottle; the mats and the playmat are the only things here bought once rather than again. Nothing on this page is bought weekly, which is exactly why it runs out unnoticed. Sizes are printed in fluid ounces on the front of each container, and that number is the one worth comparing, since the containers themselves look nearly identical.

How much is in the tub

Containers in this part of the shelf share their artwork across sizes, so a small tub and a large one photograph the same. The ounce figure is the difference.
