Baths are easier with a little tiny baby - they get pretty slippery. I would usually only do it with DH to assist in getting DS in and out. That said, it's very relaxing for both of you and good skin to skin.

I have a mesh ring sling I used in and out of water... used full time for the first few months and when they get bigger mostly just for the pool or baths.  I am too nervous to do a shower with LO.  The brand was Taylor Made and it was like $40.&

I bathe almost nightly with my daughter. She loves it- I believe she things that nursing in the tub is a basic human right. :-) Just recently though I have started doing baths with just her in the tub. She's so much more stable now. I've taken a few showe

Super rarely. When she was itty bitty and the only time I could get a bath is if I bathed with her, then I would bathe with her. I put her little infant tub in the bathtub, and then once her tub was full I let the water keep running and I washed the es
