Question - do you shower if alone with your baby? Or only shower if someone else is home?
If you do shower when alone with baby, where do you put them?
Now let’s imagine you’re on holiday or elsewhere and the set up isn’t the same as at home. You don’t have a safe space for them. What do you do?

I shower at night when the kids are in bed or after dinner when my husband will be home. On occasion I do shower in the day, at nap time. When they were younger and I wanted to shower during wake times I’d just take them in the bathroom with me x

Yes. In the cot with her fave toys / books and I take the monitor with me to the bathroom.
I’m just living a wildly different life to most mums I think.
I’m trapped in the bedroom with him from 7.30pm in the dark being as quiet as possible. Sometimes I can leave for a bit. But definitely couldn’t shower it would just wake him.
And I could never leave him in a cot (I don’t even have one) but do have a travel cot. He would just shout and shout at being so restricted.
Nap times I’m trapped. I can’t believe some mums actually have the freedom to shower during a nap time. I can’t move lol

Shower every night before bedtime, he is asleep by this point and my partner is on monitor juty💆🏼♀️

I'll often take her in the shower with me and we both have a wash if my husband isn't home to watch her whilst I shower. I used to be able to leave her in the playpen but she wouldn't be chill enough to do that anymore

I shower in the morning as that’s when he seems most ‘happy’ to not be stuck to me. Even then it’s a quite wash and go. With my first when he was older I would put him in the bouncer in the bathroom so he could see me and me him.

Are we talking about 1 year olds here? Why do I get the impression your babies were born in Feb 2026? 😅

I shower when my husbands home to take baby or I bring him in the shower with me. I take an empty tray in and put bubble bath in it and a couple of bath toys for him to splash about x

I shower in the evening when he's asleep. But did wonder about having him in the shower with me on the floor but the soap suds/shampoo would surely go over him? Mine is a Feb 2025 baby.
