It was fine when ds was younger, would leave him in bouncy chair and make faces through the shower screen
But now he's a tornado toddler, he'll be hands down the loo, etc
So I was popping him in his cot with toys and books and having monitor in bathroom to keep an ear out and then was basically rush in, under shower, scrub rinse out
But now I'm trying to underline that cot is for sleeping, not playing...so don't want to do this really.
how do you do it?
Do I need to move my shower to evening after he's gone to bed?

What, mooncups or tampons or both? I didn't think anyone used towels these days.

But if it trickles and they ask what it is then just tell them. They will have to know one day.

Why does your period make any difference? Mooncup or tampon in so there'll be no bloodbath!

Have a bath with your child.

I pop them in the cot with the lights on, radio on and books and toys from a 'special bag' thrown in. The atmosphere is completely different to the sleeping one and then at the end of the shower, toddler removed and all toys and books go back in to the bag.

It seems to work quite well.

DS (3) watches tv and DD (11 months) sits in the bathroom with me, playing with bath toys or pulling the few things I've left out of the drawers.

Reading this with interest, DD 8 months so happily sits in bouncer watching me while I shower in the morning. hadn't really thought about what will happen when she's too big for that. I like the idea of her showering with me....but....silly question alert... what do you do when you have AF???? blush
