What do I do while showering?

[JordieC]

Now that DD has started crawling I am facing the dilemma I'm sure many people have faced!! I usually shower when DH is home or Mackenzie is in bed but if that isn't the case - what do I do?

Our house is very small and we're moving soon so there isn't any point putting up barriers yet. Mackenzie is just starting to discover new things so I really don't know what things I need to baby proof yet! Obviously I can move"dangerous" things but I know that babies can find their way into many things! She used to have an activity centre to "stand" in but I gave that back. Any ideas?

I either put her in the cot with lots of toys (and take monitor into shower so I can hear if she is getting upset) or put her in the bathroom with me with the door closed and lots of toys and let her play while I shower. Put the bin and the toilet brush on the windowsill / cupboard so she can't get into them.

Do you have a bath in the bathroom?

It was always Mum's trick to put us in the bath with a couple of toys. Not a lot of damage they can cause in there.

I used to put DS in his highchair in the bathroom and just made sure he had some toys. When he wakes up in the morning he like to have a play in his cot so I usually jump in the shower then.

I put Harrison in his highchair in the bathroom with me, with some toys.

Ooh I like high chair idea - der of course I could have thought of that!! Lucky I have BB members to help me when I lose my mind! Our bathroom is VERY small so I would have to put her just out side of it but that's okay.

Muppity - I had to laugh when I first read your thread I thought youmeant have her in with me!! Then I realised that you meant a seperate bath!! Our bath is part of the shower. I had vision of Mackenzie fully clothes playing in our bath while I'm showering in it!!
