I was putting him in the swing... but lately I've been getting up when my husband gets up and showering right away. That's been so much easier. However, I think I'm going to change the routine so I shower at night after we put him to sleep. That will give me more time in the morning while DH is still here.
I always shower before DH goes to work too. The few times I've showered when no one else was here, DS was screaming when I got out. So I don't shower unless someone is here.
When she was really new or if she's awake I put her in her bouncy seat in the bathroom. She's always kept herself entertained. I try to shower during a nap when she's next door asleep in her crib.
But three things remain: faith, hope and love; the greatest of these is love.
In her portable swing in the bathroom if we're home alone. But usually I shower when DH is home and can entertain DD.

Bouncy seat in the bathroom. Or I shower when she's napping. She loves it right now so I'm borrowing my friend's so I can have one on each floor of the house.
I have baby and a 2 year old, so I can't shower unless I can somehow manage to get the two of them to nap at the same time. This is very rare, so I usually catch a shower in the early morning or before bed when my husband is home so he can watch the kids.

I either shower when she is napping or bring her into the bathroom in her bouncy. But I've only brought her in with me twice. I also shower if we have guests/my hubby is home. I don't like to give up my long hot showers.
I shower in the morning or evening when MH is home.
Although, the other day LO and I got really sweaty on a walk, so I took her in with me to rinse off. She pouted when I got her wet and then cried after about 5 minutes. So I guess we won't be doing that again (at least for awhile)!
I've always been a night showerer so I leave him with DH, or I take it when he goes down for the night, if hebgoes down easily which hasn't been the case this week. When I was taking them during the day for a few weeks I'd put him in the nap nanny in the bedroom and I'd leave the bathroom door open so I'd hear if he started screaming.
It totally varies for me. Sometimes i shower before DH leaves for work, sometimes I shower when both kids are napping, and sometimes I give then both a bath, stick DD in her bouncer, and DS plays in the tub while I shower. Totally depends on the day and how desperate I am.

i shower at night after my son has gone to bed in his crib.... that's the beauty of having a baby monitor! it allows me to shower without him in the bothroom and allows him to sleep at the same time.
I put my daughter in her portable baby bouncer and set it inside the bathroom. She loved the sound of the running water! This also worked when she was especially fussy... the water calmed her down almost immediately!!
Re: Where do you put baby when you shower?
Same. Or her bouncy chair. She likes the fan in the bathroom, so she always just chills out when I shower.

On a towel on the floor in the bathroom.
He spends a lot of time on the floor. He likes to wiggle, and we don't have other kids so I don't need to worry about a toddler trampling him.
