What do you do when....

So I'm going to just put it out there.... What do you guys do if you are home alone with the baby and you have to poop?! ( I know not the most polite thing to talk about) 
I also wanna know what you guys do with baby when you shower? My husband will be starting a new job in July which requires him to leave the house 5am and return 7-8pm. I work full time too and will need to get ready in the morning and will be doing evenings/bedtime with baby everyday and I'm just wondering what to do with her when I'm in the bathroom? Do I take her with me? Lol I know ill need to shower before work and I'm juggling different ideas with baby... Buy a bouncer to keep her entertained and safe and put it in the bathroom?! Haha I don't know! Any ideas???

Re: What do you do when....

  • Put LO in crib, in a boppy on bathroom floor. Can she sit up on her own?  If yes, then you can sit her on a blanket with some toys.  You could also take a shower after you put her to bed.

  • The pack and play in our living room or his crib is my go to when I need to do something without LO. 
  • Either on the floor in the bathroom with me in a bouncer or boppy pillow or in her crib and I just put the iPad next to shower so I can see her monitor. But we also have a bouncer in the kitchen that she LOVES and will occupy her for the longest, if im by the kitchen I'll put her in that. You'll figure out what works for you :)

    My guy is pretty self sufficient, so I just say 'Mommy has to make a boom-boom", and put him on the floor with some toys. He can't crawl yet, so I feel that he's safe enough there (no siblings)

    Rock and play with toys. I also keep it short and quick if my husband isn't home.
  • Thanks for all the advice! 
    She is super mobile, now crawling but rolling everywhere even past pillow barriers lol so I'm always afraid she will get hurt by rolling into something ... I'm such a worrier and think of the worst! I'll try a play mat and some pillows around her to keep her contained maybe in the bathroom with me... And keep it short of course lol!

    I use a bouncer in the bathroom while I shower.  And I put him in his swing or excersaucer or floor while I go potty.
