My son watches Handy Manny while I plop the 1 year old in the shower with me or on the floor of the bathroom with some toys. I'll admit... as a first time mom, I found it impossible to be showered before noon for the first three months. As a mom of two, I've learned how to cope. No one gives you a tiara for missing a shower. I took a Big Girl Pill and figured it out. Mommy & Me Showers all around in my house!

Then I'd put her in her crib and take my shower with a clean conscience. If she cried for a few minutes, meh... She wouldn't spontaneously combust because of it.

My oldest cried constantly. Could only be held..very high needs. So I bought a clear shower curtain...sat her in the carseat in the bathroom...and she was fine. I had to talk to her constantly...and peek around the curtain...but it got done. You have to be imaginative when you're a mom. Same here! My oldest cried constantly.

Make sure the pack-n-play or crib is as far away from the shower as possible. If baby cries it's good for Baby. Mom is getting a shower and feeling good about herself again. After a good clean and shaved Mom, you are ready to snuggle with baby again. :) That OR you can just put the baby in the bed for 5 to 8 minutes.
