    Interesting topic. How do you shower with 14 week old baby? Holding her while the water rans? I personally couldn't do it, I would let her cry while I bath her but thank goodness my baby girl loves bath time. She stares at me while I talk to her or sometimes she talks back but perfers to listen me instead. Good-luck Jess.

    I was going to say shower too. It is scary at first, but it gets easier. Depending on your shower you might even be able to sit in there with the water running over you and that would be easier.

    Otherwise, if you are too nervous about the shower, you could always try daily baths again and see what happens. GL.

    Girl22,
    If you are scared of your baby slipping, a suggestion is to wear a sock, with the end cut off on your arm, that way there is a non slip element, or wear a singlet yourself (personally I think the singlet takes the skin on skin away which is special with a baby of that age) you could wear it until your confidence grows.

    MatildasMummy,

    That's a really great idea. I might shower her one day, to see how she will react.
