how can I shower if LO is asleep in her swing?

I tried putting her in her bouncy seat in the bathroom and she wasn't having it. Now she's in her swing, sound asleep, and I'm stuck here on the couch! (trying to reach silver status)

    I showered today while DD was asleep in her swing in the bedroom.  And she woke up right after I got out.  That's about how it works.

    thats the only way I can ever shower. i have the video monitor on him so i can watch from the bathroom. can you put the monitor next to her so at least you can hear if she wakes up? or just go shower, she will be fine.

    I'll try to say this nicely.

    You take your clothes off and get in the shower. This is the perfect time. She's not going anywhere.

    Just use the monitor. I was never comfortable leaving him unattended in his swing, but I used to sleep while he was in there, so I don't see the difference. Now, he likes to sit up in there, so I don't sleep or leave him or anything.

    That is the only way I can usually get a shower.

    Go shower.

    lol! Thanks everyone for reassuring me that she won't flail about and fall out. (yes, I'm paranoid)?

    First, you turn on the faucet.

    Then you take off your clothes. 

    Step into the shower.

    Apply shampoo. Rinse.

    Apply soap. Rinse.

    Step out of the shower.

    Towel dry.

    Get dressed.

    See? It's easy. :)

    She IS strapped in, right?  If so, she'll be fine.  Enjoy your shower!
    Wheee!

    I just put her swing in the bathroom with me. By the time I get out, she is asleep and her nasal passages are clear!

    I don't understand why you would think you couldn't shower with LO in the swing...I do this everyday.
