one support tip I would add for moms building their night time / bath routine is to shower with your baby! Our night time routine got so much easier once baby and I started showering together! We used to bathe in the sink with a pop up bath tub but the whole set up would take longer than the actual bath, I would come out drenched and bc I was already wet and sweaty I ended up taking over the whole routine, leaving my husband just watching! And by the time I got ready for bed, baby was over stimulated and tired. SO NOW I have daddy play with her while I have a complete shower first. I knock on the wall and in comes a naked baby into the shower! Daddy is on stand by as he gets ready for bed. Then gets ready for baby with a towel as he changes her and gets her ready - I also get ready for bed! Then we all go to bed at the same time! I hope this can help some mommas night time routine!

sounds like you guys have a great system!
That is such a cute routine. I tried holding the baby in the shower and she is so slippery. We try it now and again. Sometimes, I will sit her on the bottom of the shower and we shower together, too. I just make sure that my shampoo and soap doesn’t get on her so she doesn’t get it in her eyes. Thanks for sharing!
This may sound like a dumb question but how do you shower with baby?? Is it a seat ??
Standing! I hold her! If baby is too slippery I recommend wrapping in a light muslin blanket
