What are your kids taking? Baths or showers?
We are still doing baths here but will do a random shower here or there when we have to wash off chlorine from the pool. Sometimes if she just needs her hair washed, we'll do that in the sink.

Bath. Very rarely, she will shower with me, but I only do that if I'm out of time and she can't go one more day without a bath.

20 months... he takes a bath probably once a week... most times its just way easier/faster to have him shower with daddy.

16 months- either. Baths during the week and showers on the weekends usually.

Almost only baths. Occasionally I have DH hand me the baby at the end of my shower so I can rinse her quickly. And sometimes when I say I'm going to take a shower my 3 yo says she wants to too, so I bring her with me and she whines the whole time, but gets clean.
But they love taking baths together so I usually do that. It's so cute.

@mediagirl: mostly a bath in the toddler tub but I am looking to get a kid friendly shower head attachment to make showers easier and less scary for her

4, and still baths. He hates showers, and likes taking a bath the 7 month old.

DS is 3.5 and gets showers almost exclusively, on his own. We help him wash his hair but he is in the shower by himself.

Showers, she decided a few months ago that she hates baths. She usually just gets in with me and we shower together, but she sometimes takes a solo(ish) shower at night if she's really dirty (we keep the curtain partway open and either DH or I sits on the side of the tub to supervise and help her wash her hair, but don't actually get in). She's a little over 2.5.

16m and only baths. I wanna transition over to showers soon because it's probably much faster, but LO seems to enjoy bath time.

16 month - bath
almost 4 - it's 50/50 between whether she chooses shower or bath.

My 4 year old will do either, but my 19 month old only gets baths. We have a removable shower head though- I think it makes a world of a difference!

Baths. They like having time to play around in the tub. We've done showers when we just need a quick rinse.

4 year old: started hating water on his hair/face during baths about 6 months ago, will now tolerate showers
7 month old: baths only.
C (older) has started asking to help with J (baby)'s baths, which mainly means bringing over all the toys - no room in the baby tub, but very sweet! Last night he asked for a bath. in the big tub after his shower so he could play with the toys. Once J is sitting better on his own I think they'll have fun taking baths together.

On the nights I do bedtime, he insists on a bath. When my husband does bedtime, he insists on a shower, so about half and half.

Showers! Every once in a while I let the kids take a bath though.

17 months. She takes a shower with me. If my husband is doing the routine, he gives her a bath.

Both, at 11 months. During the week, if she's awake when I take my shower, she showers with me. On the weekend and the occasional weeknight, she takes a bath.

Baths, but when we're on vacation or home in a hurry and one of us also has to shower, we just throw him in with us.

LO is 4.5 and pretty much always took a bath. She loved it and it was a nice end to the day but it did mean starting bedtime pretty early. Just in the last 2-3 weeks she decided she wanted showers and it is so much faster! We have a shower head that you can take off and hold and she loves to hold it while I wash her hair and scrub her clean. I just leave the curtain part way closed. Then she likes to rinse herself and I let her have a turn scrubbing herself clean with soap. So much faster and a lot easier for my pregnant body bc there's no leaning over the bathtub!

The kids take both. They adjusted to showers this summer since we have been going to the pool so often. It's just easier to spray them down. They still enjoy baths and playing in the tub.

My kids take both at 3 and 11.5 months old. Like, I literally turn the shower on and stop up the tub, so they can sit and splash or run under the spray. They think it's like an indoor splash pad, haha. I also give the older one a squirt gun.

Baths only for the baby, but DS1 (2.5) has started getting into showers recently. Definitely makes things quicker!

@oliviaoblivia: my DD hates "the rain" too hahahaha. She is 2.5 and takes mostly baths but if she is really dirty I bring her in the shower with me for a quick rinse.

Showers. I was tired of bending over for baths so I bought a hand held shower head with an extra long hose off of Amazon. She was afraid of showers before but now she loves them because either one of us can control the water and make it her height. It's soooo much faster.
