summerisis (141.7 days ago) I`ll bathe with my daughter until she gives me the `cue` that I`m no longer welcome.
mommyof4girls (142.1 days ago) I think it is just fine for a mother to bathe with her child. Up until a certain age. I stop taking baths with my girls when they are about 1 1/2 or a bit sooner. Whenever they start wanting to grab at my chest. Then i know it is time to stop. I NEVER shower with my kids though. A family friend let her husband and he dropped their 3 month old and now he has a shuant(spelling?) in his head. Very sad. My fiance has never bathed with the girls. It is probably better that way cause now days someone might think that as inappropriate and turn us in. You never know, sad but true.
shocked-over-3 (142.2 days ago) I`ve never taken an actual bath with my babes,but we`ve done quick showers with me or daddy,just to clean em up real quick..I don`t see anything wrong with it as long as their still little.
abbyquiet (142.2 days ago) at some point i tried to put bubbles in my son`s bath and it freaked him out, he wouldn`t get back in, so for several months i had to bathe with him of course i wore a baithing suit because he`s like 14 months old at the time, and i didn`t want him wondering about mommy`s mommy parts. but finally he JUST started being able to bathe by himself.
pooka (142.2 days ago) When im alone with my son and want to take a shower because no one an watch him and he trashes my bathroom I put the plug in the tub and run a bit of water and he plays and I have my shower then I get out, give him fresh water and let him have a bath while i get dressed and stuff in the bathroom. Works well and I get to have a shower LOL.
chevychic96 (142.3 days ago) I have 2 boys...so I would never take a shower with them
RobinG (142.3 days ago) Depends on their age ~ a infant toddler it totally fine :) But not a child over 4ish of different sex and not either sex past 5-6ish.
loribb (142.3 days ago) I think is it natural, although I haven`t done it with my baby girl yet. She is 8 months old. She has eczema and can only stay in the bath for a very short time.
~amy~ (142.4 days ago) I shower everynight with Joel.. will prob until he can stand up than I will bath him by himself or put him in with daddy!
busymommyof3 (142.6 days ago) If we are headed somewhere and we need to get ready Quickly. I take showers with my 5 and 4 yo girls with no problem. My sons only 10 m but I am sure it will only last a few years, then he needs to bathe with daddy ( although i doubt it will happen) or on his own. I do believe there is a certain age with boys bathing with their mothers. Its not specific age but when they start asking ` ??`s` then it time to stop =)
I perfer to bath alone since The kids hog the water!! and I am left freezing!!
jpcm (142.6 days ago) I normally wait till girls are in bed befor ei get in bath, or shower, i consider that a part of `mommy time` and girls bathe together, my (almost) 3 yr old, and my 1 yr old. There are times, when i just feel liek a bath before 9-10ish pm..and i tell my husband, i am going to take a relaxing bath..IF the girls hear me....it ends up in a fight to get to cathroom first with mommy, and my oldest, is usually undressed before i am :( relaxing...pffft, but, i let he rplay with water, splash a bit, and then my husband brings me the other, because hs ehas caught on, ohh they are in bath and i`m not....then, he gets one out at a time...i find it natural I dont` think there`s anythign wrong with babies bathing with momma...for me, it made it so much easier for me to hold them and wash thir hair, especially littler they were. That being said, our oldest is almost 3, and we haev cut off ehr following my husband into bathroom....just because she notices things, ALOT. And, that isn`t soemthing we want ehr actually noticing now. Yet, she can go with me to potty, and in fact, it`s usually me, her, baby, and the dog LOL!!!
ladobruk (142.6 days ago) Completely natural, but to a certain age. I am not sure what the age is exactly, but I think I will know when we get there. I am thinking by 3 ish.
Baby Jaidalynn (142.7 days ago) My daughter is 2 now and every time I get in the shower, she is screaming from the door, `Mommy, I want bath, please, bath with MOmmy Please`. It`s so cute. Although I take showers, and when I put her in, she hogs all the water.LOL And she also gets mad when I take over again.LOL ha ha.
courtenay (142.7 days ago) i bathe with my 8 month old all the time
tuesday (142.7 days ago) i bathe with my 8 month old every day.. i think its natural
hillaryandmikesbaby (142.7 days ago) hmm i dont know.. i dont find it weird for others to do so... i dont have my baby yet.. but ive noticed when im with my two year old niece i feel really awkward if i have to change in front of her.. like today i had a one piece bathing suit on and we were in the bathroom together so i had to take it down.. when i did she tried touching my boob! I dont know if i would bathe with my daughter.. we will see when we get there
Bangel (142.7 days ago) I don`t find it weird at all, just a pain. Although, he`s 8.5 months now and I did it the other day and it was alot easier now that he`s bigger!
