C gets baths.</p> <p>I actually have memories of showering with my mom and dad and it has scarred me for life. *shudder* It didnt bother me as a kid, but it bothers me as an adult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-701105 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 01:53:08 +0000 googly-eyes 701105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never tried but DD isn't a fan of loud running water so I'm going to guess she would have the same reaction as your DS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-701042 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 23:28:16 +0000 sera_87 701042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: lol I actually have no idea. And I agree with you about the 2inches of water thing. They just need enough to cover their face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-701041 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 23:27:20 +0000 shopaholic 701041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87: Good idea for toys and stuff, but how does it prevent drowning? We were told a LO (even 3 year old) could drown in a bucket of water with just a couple inches of water!</p> <p>@78h2o: That's a nice set-up! Both our bathrooms are tub/shower combos, not as nice and spacious for the baby tub + adult. And I remember showering with my mom as a toddler too and I loved my shower hat thing. But never cool enough to have an umbrella in there! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-701006 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 23:04:46 +0000 78h2o 701006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I am too afraid to try holding J as well... I'd drop her for sure! I just keep her in her tub, then scoot it over to the door and do a quick transfer to the towel! :)</p> <p>I can actually remember showering with my mom as a kid, so I must have done it until I was at least 3 or 4. I remember taking an umbrella in and playing with toys at her feet, under my little kid umbrella! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-700997 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:58:16 +0000 shopaholic 700997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww... poor baby! But your description is priceless!<br /> The nurse that wheeled me out at the hospital told us to try showering with baby and that her DH did with all 3 of their kids and they loved it!<br /> I still can't even think about it at 1 month old. I have a hard enough time keeping her head up and stable in the baby bath, with a sling! Forget how worried I'd be standing in a slippery shower! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-700957 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:35:15 +0000 78h2o 700957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: I lay her duck towel out on the bath mat and hang my towels up right outside the shower. I turn the shower off, wrap my hair, wrap my bod, then open the shower door and take J out of her baby tub, set her on the towel, then scoop her up.</p> <p>ETA: Here's a visual... set up for the morning. </p> [attach=2480/13/mkyz7h.240x320.shower.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-700931 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:21:37 +0000 MrsStar 700931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've showered with her 2 or 3 times and she didn't mind it, but she was slippery! I prefer to give her a bath since she enjoys them so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-700892 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:59:32 +0000 rawrasaur 700892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have zero desire to shower with her, it just seems difficult and I like my solo shower for some me time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-700797 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:30:08 +0000 mrsmenow 700797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have with my second and now my third babies. They both loved it form a pretty young age. My second especially loved being in the shower and being in the bathroom with the noise of the shower.</p> <p>@photojane:It is easiest if DH is home for you to pass the baby out to. Dh usually has a towel wide open in his arms and takes DD and dries her, dresses, ets. It gives me a chance to get cleaned off myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-700611 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:25:46 +0000 SugarplumsMom 700611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried it once when she was really small and I was pretty stinky and in desperate need of a shower. She didn't cry, but wasn't too thrilled. The slipperyness of it all made me swear never to do it again though. Maybe when she can run around, I'll try again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-700595 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:19:26 +0000 Honeybee 700595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD still hates showering at almost three; she doesn't like water on her face. DS is fine with it, but I usually shower while he's asleep because I like my showers extra hot. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-700589 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:16:39 +0000 Mrs. Pen 700589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to exclusively shower with him until he was old enough to sit up in the tub by himself :) We still shower maybe once a week with him (either DH or I) and he loves it! We started early so maybe that's the key.<br /> Now that he's older I'll even let him play at my feet while I wash up.</p> <p>@photojane: haha! Well I usually wrap up both in separate towels. We go to his room and I put him in a diaper, then we go to my room - when he was little like your baby girl, I just put him on my bed with a toy while I got dressed, but now I just let him walk around and play in my room while I get dressed. Then we go back to his room and get him dressed. If we do this in the morning, it's usually nap time by that time - so I put him down for his nap and then go blow dry my hair :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-700561 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:06:51 +0000 MamaJ 700561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only once on vacation in a hotel. It was a mess. He was 2.5 months old and I was terrified I was going to drop him and he kept trying to latch on haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-700529 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:55:27 +0000 photojane 700529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm dying to take S in the shower with me, but I can't figure out the logistics. What do I do when we're done?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-700511 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:52:15 +0000 hellobeeboston 700511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87: saw that on Pinterest! Genius!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-700437 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:23:10 +0000 sera_87 700437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't really tried - I like my water boiling hot &amp; I view showers as MY time. No DH or LO allowed!</p> <p>Btw - have you heard of this laundry basket trick??! </p> [attach=1915/13/mkyp2m.400x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-700314 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:34:01 +0000 iheartleopardprint 700314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we shower together pretty much every night! She is 7 months old and has loved in since she was a few weeks old. Sometimes I do bath her and DS together, but he is rowdy in the bath, so he baths and DD and I will shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-700303 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:27:31 +0000 MamaMoose 700303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried recently and I scared the crap out of myself thinking i would drop her because she seemed so slippery! I immediately yelled for my husband to come take her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-700291 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:22:28 +0000 sarac 700291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! My water loving totally fearless 19 month old is terrified of taking a shower. I have no idea why! She'd take three baths a day if I let her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-699881 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:27:12 +0000 littlebittyhouse 699881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 9mo and loves to shower. He's a little water baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-699850 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:19:18 +0000 Amelieisme 699850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day! I discovered we could do it when he was 7ish weeks and we were in a hotel and he needed a good cleansing. He was making "Mmmmm" noises and seemed to really like it so we started showering with him all the time! Usually I put him in the floor with toys and he splashes around until I'm ready to give him a wash. Makes getting ready so much easier :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-699849 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:19:18 +0000 Mrsbells 699849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No yet, maybe when she is older and can stand by herself, but right I'm too terrified she will slip out of my arms </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-699844 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:18:25 +0000 heffalump 699844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No..... but I only try when we're on vacation and don't have another option, so it might be different in our own house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-699829 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:15:17 +0000 prettylizy 699829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never tried to bring her in the shower, I'm sure she'd hate it though, she's such a diva! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-699798 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:08:16 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 699798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol, he's so funny.</p> <p>Yes, we shower together all the time and he loves it! He acts all jittery at first but then after a min he gets excited and tries licking up the water and kicking around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-699764 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:00:15 +0000 Bao 699764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never tried it, I'm not sure I have the talent for that haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-699754 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:58:08 +0000 Mrs Checkers 699754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't yet! I don't know, she really loves her baths so I keep that as her special time and I just shower alone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-699333 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:14:52 +0000 78h2o 699333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby loves to be in her tub, in the shower with me, but the water only spits on her, it doesn't really rain over her. Hope that makes sense! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-with-your-lo#post-699319 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:11:24 +0000 GrapeCrush 699319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes. i just started a few weeks ago, for when i really need to take a shower and he needs to be cleaned. he loves to sit on the floor of the tub and have the water spray down on him. or i'll put him under the shower head while holding him and he laughs</p> <p>ETA: he's 11 months old. </p>
