Think about this: You’re home alone with your baby. You haven’t showered today (or maybe for a few days—no judgment, it happens!). Baby just had a big spit-up or blowout, and now they’re fussy, upset, and refusing to be laid on their back for a wipe-down. The thought of doing bath time in the baby tub—while you’re already overwhelmed—feels stressful. You just want to calm your baby and find a little relief yourself.
This is where showers with your baby can be such a game-changer. They can soothe your little one, give you a much-needed reset, and turn a stressful moment into a bonding one. But maybe you’ve wondered: What if it’s slippery? How do I safely support my baby?
The good news? There are products designed to help. I didn’t know about them when I was in this exact situation with my first baby, but I wish I had! Having the right support can make shower time not only possible, but also enjoyable—for both mom and baby. And the best part? These tools aren’t just limited to the shower—you can use them at the pool, the beach, or even under a waterfall.
One option worth checking out is the Hippie Joey Water Carrier (just one of their assisted-carry products). It’s an affordable, high-quality brand trusted by certified babywearing expert Cassidy Eisenfeld @letstalkbabywearing, who shares her professional view, linked below.
I haven’t tried it personally yet, but it’s definitely on my must-try list. If you’re looking for a way to make showering with your baby safe, soothing, and stress-free, this is a great place to start exploring. Connect with me below if you want to chat more about this topic!
