We have a standard sized shower/tub combo, but I think if I laid a LO down, they would be getting sprayed a lot. I personally would hate it, so i can't imagine a baby would like it. I think I'm missing something. I was picturing it as holding the baby, which seems slippery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-486005 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 12:41:03 +0000 tororojo 486005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Same with us! I feel your pain...hopefully someone wise can help us out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-485988 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 12:34:49 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 485988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: I'm curious about this, too. I look at our tiny show and can't figure out how that would happen. There's no room and she would be constantly pounded by the water if I laid her down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-485976 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 12:30:55 +0000 purrpletulips 485976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 1/2 when DD requested to shower with mommy. We tried a couple of times before (at 15 and 18m) and she was terrified so we didn't push it. DS is 4m and I don't know when we'll start showering with him, I'm always afraid I'll drop them since they get so slippery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-485773 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 11:41:02 +0000 tororojo 485773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: @Beyond2: @bree72: @Mrs. Pen: @brownie: @cyndistar3: @StbHisMrs: @lemondrop: @pastemoo: Do you ladies mind sharing how you shower with a tiny baby? Like the steps you use logistically to make it work...we have a tiny kitchen sink and no bathtub so I reeeeally want to be able to shower with LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-484887 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:37:36 +0000 pastemoo 484887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took him in the shower with me at 2 weeks old after his first bath because the bath was too painful for me to lean over.<br /> He loves baths and showers.<br /> Now we do baths when we have plenty of time and showers when we are in a rush. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-484873 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:32:50 +0000 luckypenny 484873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet. I'm scared she'd slip right out of my arms! Maybe when she's a good walker. I'd feel more comfortable with her standing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-484855 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:21:43 +0000 808love 484855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>about 18 months I think... i was afraid of her slipping, or me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-483561 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 07:44:57 +0000 heffalump 483561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We take showers together on vacation.... when no bath is available. LO has never been a big fan, it's always one big scream fest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-483429 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 00:09:31 +0000 Bao 483429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet, since she is so little, but maybe when she is older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-483425 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 00:06:39 +0000 lemondrop 483425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Somewhere between 2-3 months I think. At first I held him, which is kind of scary... I'd look into some kind of bath apron to hold the baby next time. After a while, I started laying him on the tub floor with a towel under his head, and he was happy to splash around while I showered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-483424 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 00:04:55 +0000 StbHisMrs 483424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been putting her in the bath since she could situp stabily. I put a little warm water in the tub, sit her down, then turn on the shower. After I'm done I wash her and her hair, thdn let her play for a bit. Works fairly well for us, usually in the morning when I'm getting ready for work </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-483382 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 23:07:24 +0000 cyndistar3 483382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also started as soon as her stump fell off, she has never had an issue with it. I just sit her in her bath seat and wash her up in there, she loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-483360 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 22:47:58 +0000 brownie 483360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started when his stump fell off. He is now 20 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-483359 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 22:45:46 +0000 Mrs. Pen 483359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha ever since he was about 3 months old! We still shower together- I will let him play at my feet for a little bit and then pick him up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-483337 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 22:05:10 +0000 chopsuey 483337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo loves showering with us. We always give her a bath at night too though<br /> She started really loving them at around 18 months old </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-483328 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 21:53:35 +0000 HLK208 483328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From 18 months and up. I think it would be too hard to hold them while washing hair/all over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-483324 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 21:49:02 +0000 BananaPancakes 483324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I showered with my son every day as soon as his cord fell off. He loooved them and it was easy for me. We stopped around 5-6 month because he decided he was a big boy and wanted to use the bath by himself. Sad day. I miss our showers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-483312 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 21:40:01 +0000 Beyond2 483312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always shower with DS. It's so much easier. He actually cries in the bath now, he prefers showers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-483310 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 21:39:32 +0000 prettylizy 483310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never done this. DH will fill up the big tub, and sit in there with her for her bath (funny story- he insists on wearing shorts or a bathing suit while he is in the tub with her because he doesn't want her to see his boy parts.... she is 9 months old :S) and she seems to like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-483306 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 21:37:25 +0000 bpcmarj 483306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been holding her in the shower with me since 6 weeks or so. Not everytime, but when we are in a rush as it's quicker than a bath! She loves it, although now at almost 8 months, she grabs for everything off the shelf and the curtain so we may have to stop until she gets a little more self control! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-482954 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 16:14:57 +0000 skibobrown 482954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not showers, but we take baths together every night before bedtime. Maybe I'll try showers when she's a little older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-482945 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 16:08:32 +0000 Boogs 482945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does after he cuts LO's hair. I'm too scared so I never have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-482647 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 10:49:03 +0000 plaidpants 482647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried this at around 7 or 8 months and LO cried! I think she was scared of the noise. She's a year now, but I haven't tried again. I will soon though. I'm tired of baby baths! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-shower-with-your-lo-1#post-482630 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 10:34:01 +0000 autumnlove 482630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did you start? I can't wait to do this because baths can be a hassle! </p>
