Showering baby

Hi guys,
This might be a random one but how do shower with a baby?
My house only has shower no bath so I have been using a standard baby bath to wash baby but she starting to out grow so I will have to transition to the shower. I am just unsure how to wash baby while in there. Like is it a two man job? I'm worried obviously about dropping baby do I sit on the shower floor or get one of those baby bath sits?
I know its an odd question but any advice would be helpful.

For us the person who isn't showering takes baby off them after and gets them dressed but if I was alone I would get out holding baby and lie them on their towel on their bath mat. We found using a wet muslin round baby reduced the slipperyness of baby too

How old is the baby? I just let mine play in the bathroom while I shower and scatter toys about. We’ve been doing it pretty much since he started crawling

baby has just turned 6 mths.

I’d just see if I could get a bigger baby bath for a while

We only have a shower and my 2 year old is still in a (big) baby bath!

I bought a swivel seat but it didn’t last long. A large baby bath sounds like a good shout

I use the Frida grow with me tub. It’s good for up to 24 months of age.

I ran into the same problem, I used one of those floor booster seats! Life saver, baby loved it and I felt it was more safe than carrying baby 🙂

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!
