At six months or so I started leaving her in the cot with toys (she was happy long enough for me to shower!) and now she's fourteen months I just shut some doors so she can only hang out where I let her :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower/page/2#post-1295870 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 15:56:38 +0000 lamariniere 1295870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DS was an infant I out him in his lounger in the bathroom. When he was too big for that around 9 months, I put him on the bathroom floor with toys. That continued until he was a little over 2 years and figured out how to open the nth room door. Now, he's almost three and I just shower with the bathroom door open and he comes and goes as he pleases. FWIW, I know he isn't going to get into anything dangerous or start coloring on the walls or something. In almost a year of this, he has never had an incident. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower/page/2#post-1295801 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 15:07:23 +0000 sera_87 1295801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wait until he's asleep. Lo is 16 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower/page/2#post-1295684 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 12:43:52 +0000 yoursilverlining 1295684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just close the bathroom door (with LO in the bathroom). She plays with toys in there, plays peek-a-boo with the shower curtain, reads a book, etc. she's 18 months, and this is what we've always done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295682 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 12:40:12 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1295682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wait til nap time or shower at the gym while he is at kid care. If I ABSOLUTELY have to, I will bring his high chair in the shower and give him breakfast while I take a super fast shower (usually with a shower cap on, just to wash and rinse) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295680 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 12:39:59 +0000 yin 1295680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wait until DH comes home and shower in the evenings. Occasionally I'll shower when baby naps and give my toddler the iPad to watch PBS kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295646 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 12:07:51 +0000 Mrs. Deer 1295646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to shower during her morning nap. When she got bigger I switched to showering at night once she was asleep or waiting until my husband was home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295626 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 11:37:58 +0000 sarac 1295626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just let mine hang out in the bathroom with me. She has a drawer of fun toys to play with. It's a good kick in the pants to keep your bath room floor clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295606 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 11:21:24 +0000 Smurfette 1295606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually shower before she is up or during nap on the weekends.</p> <p>I have brought the exersaucer in the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295605 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 11:20:32 +0000 autumnlove 1295605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>crib </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295597 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 11:08:43 +0000 blackbird 1295597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's usually a non issue because I shower late but I put her in the crib with a few toys and have for a long time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295596 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 11:07:29 +0000 Cherrybee 1295596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rarely shower these days!! I tend to jump into LO's tepid bathwater every evening after she has gone to bed (and my hair is washed maybe twice a week, while DH is home - disgusting, I know!!) On the very rare occasions I do attempt to shower while home alone with DD, I put her in her bouncy seat in the bathroom but she throws a hissy fit when she's not getting any attention so it always ends badly! If I try to shower during nap time it wakes her up and I end up running across the landing dripping water to put her dummy back in - not relaxing at all!</p> <p>She's 5 long, filthy months old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295592 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 11:00:19 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1295592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exersaucer! LO is 16 months tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295564 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 10:28:21 +0000 Periwinkle 1295564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 13 months old and we are at the end of using the rnp while I shower. We have used that since infancy and I park it right outside the bathroom door (which is open). He's at the point now where he hates going in it and hen wriggles, so I need to come up with something new. </p> <p>That rnp was a lifesaver for sooo many months! Wish they made a bigger one!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295560 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 10:24:40 +0000 Greentea 1295560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she wants to be in her swing... (rare)... it is right outside the bathroom in the master. We have a stokke crib so what I do is put her in there and wheel, yes wheel, her in the bathroom with me. She loves it! 6.5 mo. I mostly shower when she is asleep at night or with dh holding her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295553 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 10:17:17 +0000 Bao 1295553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's 15 months and I just bring toys in the bathroom and shut the door. I move anything she shouldn't get into. Otherwise I shower when she naps, when DH is home, or at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295552 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 10:16:17 +0000 heartonastring 1295552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is eight months old. I never shower while she's awake. Typically I shower at night after she's gone to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295546 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 10:07:13 +0000 Grace 1295546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always showered during nap time. She's woken early a couple times, but I figure that teaches patience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295545 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 10:06:45 +0000 avivoca 1295545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>H is 2.5 months, and I put her in her Moses Basket in the bathroom with me. I don't know what I'll do once she's mobile, our bathroom is teeny with no room for a PNP. Probably gate her in her room and bring the monitor with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295538 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 10:00:08 +0000 MrsF 1295538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M is 14 months and I put her I'm the pack &amp; play with a bunch of toys while I shower. We've been doing that since about 6 months. She doesn't cry because we do it every day and she knows I'll be back soon. </p> <p>I think I simple p'n'p would still be a good investment. We take ours everywhere. She's napping in hers right now because we're at my parents'. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295524 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 09:50:54 +0000 looch 1295524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During nap time or at night when my husband was home.

Or I do it during her naps. My husband does the same when he showers and gets ready in the morning after I've gone to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-put-lo-when-you-shower#post-1295464 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 09:01:06 +0000 Chastenet 1295464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In a bouncy chair when she was little, then the jumparoo, now either her highhiar or I just let her wall around the bathroom. Dd is 16m.

When he's mobile I'm guessing I'll shut the door and let him play some toys on a beach towel? Yikes. I'm not ready! </p>
