Try out the bouncy seat or swing and bring the baby into the bathroom with you for a quick shower. Leave the door ajar if steam is a problem. If your baby is not into bouncing or swinging, some moms wheel the stroller right in.
Our bathroom has a huge mirror so Holden could (theoretically) watch himself and the shower and I could see him if I peeked out. Of course, at a few weeks old, he’s not watching anything. Taking a shower feels good all around. Helps with aches, wakes you up, and gives you a great accomplishment. Now, add showering to your ta-da list and get some rest.

When DD was little I would take the bouncy seat that lit up and played music into the bathroom with us. I sat her in there, turned on the shower, and turned off the lights! She was just fascinated by the toy, and it allowed me enough time to take a shower in peace. I didn’t even mind that I had to shower to “The Wheels on the Bus” and other kid songs.
I used to bring my daughter into the bathroom in her bouncy chair when she was young, she loved the echo when she babbled and I was always able to get a shower in peace. With three children under 5 now however its not nearly as easy!
