Just after opinions on when is it best to stop getting naked or getting dressed infront of male toddler and also bathing together?

When the child shows signs of wanting privacy, usually more a prepubescent issue than a toddler one.

Whenever either of you feels uncomfortable with it.

Or when you get the first really cutting comment about the aesthetics of the parental body.

i would never be bothered about being naked in front of a toddler.
I also dont think i know of any toddlers who would be bothered to see a naked adult body in the context of getting changed after swimming.....

and i have had some random comments from various pre schoolers who I have been swimming with..... such as "I can see your willy" (Im female i promise) and "youve got the same bottom as mummy"

My children were a lot older when they asked for privacy and getting changed. (8 ish?)

This may be tmi but my youngest son is 4 and has seen me naked recently without being traumatised.
