Where is baby when you shower?

Where do you all put your little one when you shower? We did a bigger bouncer seat until she just now completely crawled out of it… (luckily, I jumped out of the shower and caught her!) I don’t trust her in her crib yet because she crawls around and stand up constantly.

What do you all do?

Omg my baby girl be everywhere… I put the stroller in the bathroom and strap her in.

Since it's just me and the little guy and our bathroom is too small for anything like that, I currently shower after he falls asleep for the night or during his first nap of the day.

Bumbo seat !

stroller is so smart!

Or you could even bring the high chair in there

also a great idea!

I shower when he naps

I am positive my little monkey would find a way out. She was strapped in and got herself out in less than 60 seconds 🙈

Either with dad or in the shower with me lol

Asleep, with her dad or in a bouncer staring at me through the shower door lol

When my son is sleeping and or my husband gets home from work. I put once an activity center seat in the bathroom and he stayed entertained. Also, to be transparent, there has been days where I simply don’t shower because #thereisnotime 😂

Ooohhh, I just did this, lol! So, in between her feedings and naps is when I can shower, more than likely (it's just me), and sometimes my older kids help out when they can by watching her. But this go around, I fed her, let her play/crawl on my bedroom floor while I drew my bath. Placed her in her crib with toys and a movie on TV while I bathed. Took her out of the crib to crawl and play around some while I got dressed. ( By this time, she's tired and ready to be laid down for her second nap. Finished getting dressed, played for about a couple of minutes, and then laid her down for her nap. TV off.

She’s in the pack n play

yeah she’s super clingy and that way she can see me and not go bat shit crazy.

If no one is home to watch him, I put him in his walker in the bathroom and make sure nothing bad is in his reach.

High chair or bouncer seat

In the bathroom with me

Activity center at the door of the bathroom where I can see him in the mirror, bumbo upright seat, high chair, bouncer

I try to wait until my husband is home to shower, but if it's just me and her she's in her floor seat or her stroller.

circumcision

are we circumcising our boys? or leaving that to dad?

Routines?

When did you start to introduce your baby’s routine? Do they just have a night routine or full day routine? Wondering when I should start this e.g naps at the same time everyday.

Any routines you have that work for you, please let me know them with timestamps. my baby is 6 weeks and just wondering when we should start them?

Does anyone else’s baby spit up breastmilk but not formula?

I’m seriously considering seeing a lactation consultant because I don’t understand why he can’t hold down breastmilk but can formula. I use soy formula since I’ve used it with my daughter and I’m thinking it might be due to not getting milk coming in for a few days so I had no choice but to give him formula, but now even if I take breaks in between feeding him breastmilk to burp or try to mix breastmilk and formula, he spits it up sooo much. I’m ready to just give him just formula because I’m worried about him not eating enough

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.
