Do you take your LO in the shower or bath with you or do you only give them their own bath?

LO gets her own bath. I'm too afraid she would slip out of my hands. Plus, I like my showers HOT...and it's one of the only times when I'm by myself Yes

We do both. If dh or I haven't showered one of us will bring lo in during a rinse off time to get him used to water spray, sometimes we will fill our big tub up for bath so he can "swim" with us. (we will be starting swim in the next few weeks) but for his actual baths with soap he has his own either in the tub or sink.

I do a little of both. When I need to make it quick I just jump in the shower with him. When we have time DS takes a bath in his bumbo and he loves it.

My shower is my free time - no obligations from DH or DS. DH fully supports this which is lovely.

My coworker does take his 3 yo in the shower with him because he claims it's just much faster and easier than trying to give a bath. I could see adopting that practice when DS is older, but right now, nope.

Kiya mostly takes showers with me she loves it if dh isn't home to bring her in I lay her on a towel and she waits while I wash up, I have a glass door in the master bathroom so she gets to look in and see me she gets so excited. I still give her own bath just not as often and she has taken 2 baths with me prob more when she gets older. She loves the water when we are in the shower she likes to put her head under the running water, i can not wait to take her for swimming lessons.

I like my baths and showers too hot. But my hubby did say he would take LO into the shower with him one day just to show him it's cool.

EarsToYou · May 2011

All of the above. LO sometimes gets his own bath in the baby tub, and sometimes takes a shower w/ DH. His favorite is to take a bath in the big tub with me or DH though. He "swims" all over, splashes around, and LOVES it!

i've taken him in with me a couple of times, but for the most part, he gets his own bath. he's way too much of a wiggler- i'm always afraid i'm going to drop him!

LO gets his own bath. I like my showers hot and would also be scared that he would slide out of my arms.

Ljojo · May 2011

Sometimes the 2 year old will take a shower with me, but how do you take a shower with a baby? I'm too afraid I would drop her. Right now she gets a bath by herself, but when she can sit up I will attempt to give both kids a bath at the same time.

his own bath by himself

ChicagoBroad26 · May 2011

We have a walk-in shower with a ledge where I actually put her bathtub. I wash her, then do myself. I like my showers super hot, too, but lucky the shower is big enough that when I'm washing myself the water doesn't touch her. She loves it!

utlawgirl · May 2011

All of the above. Usually she'll shower with DH or me (the other one hands her in) or bathe with one of us if we're taking a bath, but if it doesn't work out that way, we'll bathe her in her own tub. She likes water, so it's all good for her!

lulu3061 · May 2011

I do both. Shower when I just want to clean him up before we're headed some where or after we've had a long car ride (he gets sweaty in his car seat) we do baths at bedtime every few days.

cupcakes710 · May 2011

She gets her own bath. She loves it. I don't know how I would be able to shower / bathe a baby if I brought LO in with me. I also like the water hot and love the alone time!

I just hold her with with one arm and scrub her down with the other, she doesnt wiggle to much and mostly relaxes when she gets in the shower which makes it pretty easy.

I haven't taken him in with me yet, but I will.

Your shower sounds huge, I'm jealous I want a huge shower. In my master bathroom we have a jetted tub and a stand up shower the shower barley fits dh and I together and that is a tight squeeze, I really want a huge bathroom room with a huge tub and walk in shower - dreams someday

Bath of her own... how do you scrub up decently with a baby in your arms?

This! I may try taking baths with her when she can sit up on her own, but not yet.

LO gets his own bath. Like others have said I like my showers hot. Most of the time I hurry the heck up so I can get ready before LO wakes up.

scrh2010 · May 2011

A little of both. If I am washing me, I shower by myself. When DH is home, I hop into the bath with R to wash him since it is soo much easier for me and he loves it. When DH isn't home, I just put him in his bath recliner thingy and bathe him by himself.

Pretty easy I have her washcloth with soap and hold her in one arm start with her chunky legs and make sure I get her rolls I also cradle her which she loves to get under her neck, face belly, lady parts and legs. I hold her belly up against me to get her back and bumm. I have been taking showers with my nieces as babies for years so I have practice, if it wasn't for some practice not sure I would have been so comfortable with kiya.

Hazel gets her own bath in the sink with the vegetable sprayer as a baby shower. this requires 2 people since someone has to be working the sprayer at all times - she's so spoiled
