Anne, to save buying baths why not bath the baby in it's plastic cot?
Take mattress out, fill up with water and bathe. Empty with a jug and wipe out with a towel and then a large alcohol wipe.
Cot is washed thoroughly between babies as usual.
Where I currently work we use a change table to dress/ undress the baby but in other places we just pumped up the bed to a comfortable height for mum/dad/midwife.
