She only takes a bath 1-2x per week....the rest of the time she showers with me. She plays pretty nicely at my feet and likes to stand under the water. I find that evenings are more relaxed without having to give her a bath, I dont have to worry about what she's doing while I'm in there, and it's easier to style her curly hair in the morning when it is wet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower/page/2#post-1854126 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 21:41:06 +0000 MamaCate 1854126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>High chair! I usually got up before her but in mornings that was not going to happen, I stuck her in the chair with a snack. We just have the little FP high chair that attaches to a regular chair, so I dragged it into the bathroom and we survived!</p> <p>If it makes you feel any better, now that LO is 2 1/2 I will shower with her awake and playing in the next room so this too shall pass! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower/page/2#post-1854121 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 21:35:37 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1854121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shower at night but I SAH so if I need to shower after a run I usually just shut the bathroom door &amp; set her up with some toys. She can kind of see me through the glass so she will stand there &amp;bang on the door &amp; I'll bang back. We make it a game :) she's 12 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1854097 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 21:12:38 +0000 PurplePeony 1854097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shower at night and deal with putting my hair in a ponytail or messy bun the next day (it doesn't do well being slept on, either). It's not my favorite thing, but it's the easiest option and it's usually only for a couple days at a time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853834 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 16:53:14 +0000 erinpye 1853834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853827 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 16:47:20 +0000 loveisstrange 1853827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shower at night after she goes to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853778 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 16:06:55 +0000 JessKas 1853778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bring her in with me.

She plays at my feet while I shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853761 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 15:56:03 +0000 mrsjyw 1853761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost always tried to shower at nighttime or during nap time. After DS was out of the sit still in the bouncer stage, I don't think I ever took a shower while he was awake, if I was solo. Now that I think about it, I guess I could've put him in the exersaucer or jumperoo, but that's just too much work (moving it around). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853720 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 15:27:19 +0000 StbHisMrs 1853720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shower with her, if I let her run loose then she unrolls all the toilet paper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853708 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 15:21:30 +0000 Pumuckl 1853708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another night showerer here.

I give her a bunch of toys, and shower quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853629 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 14:33:25 +0000 cmomma17 1853629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I'm home alone with LO I shower when he's asleep. Usually at night after bedtime, or during a nap on the weekends. He was never the type of baby to sit in a playpen or anything like that. And now as a toddler? Not a chance! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853618 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 14:25:39 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1853618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An exersaucer chilled in my bathroom for like nine months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853527 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 13:43:24 +0000 ShootingStar 1853527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I think I'll try the PnP to start. I need DS to get at least half of his bottle while I'm getting ready or it'll take me too long to get out the door. I'm not a huge fan of showering at night because I have curly hair and if I sleep on it wet, I look legit crazy, so I have to spend 40 minutes blow drying. If I leave him in his crib or put him somewhere he can't see me, he'll just be a total mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853525 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 13:42:34 +0000 DigAPony 1853525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shower at night after he goes to sleep so I can actually enjoy and savor my alone time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853521 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 13:41:17 +0000 NeekieRose 1853521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a doorless shower so the door isn't an issue (although attempting to climb into the shower sometimes is). She has a bunch of toys and books on the floor of the bathroom that more than entertain her while I shower and get ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853481 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 13:14:57 +0000 mediagirl 1853481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried to get up and showered before she did. If she was up with me, I threw some toys in the tub and had her play in there while I showered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853476 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 13:10:34 +0000 looch 1853476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I showered during the first nap, until he dropped that...then I switched to showering at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853459 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 13:03:23 +0000 plantains 1853459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jumperoo was my choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853456 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 13:01:32 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1853456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shower(ed) with my LO! When I was a SAHM I would shower while he napped or in the evening. But now I shower before he's awake. If I had to shower while he's awake, I take him in with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853448 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 12:59:16 +0000 LuLu Mom 1853448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to set it right outside the door, so I could still hear but there was room in the bathroom. Now, I shower before she gets up otherwise she wants in with me ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853390 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 12:36:50 +0000 Anagram 1853390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that I'm back at work, I pretty much always shower at night. But on weekends if I'm home alone and have to shower for some reason, I just put LO in the crib with some favorite toys. It totally keeps her occupied for 10-15 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853389 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 12:36:20 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1853389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get up before she does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853388 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 12:35:58 +0000 maybebaby 1853388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PNP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853366 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 12:29:14 +0000 LovelyPlum 1853366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO isn't.super mobile.yet, but when she won't let me put her down (like this morning), she comes in the shower with me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-take-a-shower#post-1853363 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 12:27:02 +0000 avivoca 1853363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To get ready, I sit her down in front of the bathroom with a bunch of toys and get ready as fast as I can. </p>
