Emma was about 2months when I started putting her in the shower with me like that. it always soothed her over putting her in a bath. 8 days old could be a little early. unless she has completely lost her cord and its all healed if not I would avoid putting her in the shower with you like that. when I did it I put Emma against my chest and just let the shower head run down her back and she was always calm than after that we would dress her and she would fall right to sleep.

Good I hope she likes it plus I thought it was a great bonding experience and a great trust builder for my daughter (:

@andiryan93, I've thought about that but she's only 8 days old I thought it was maybe too early right now? I've never tried giving any of my others showers before they were older.

@hermommy21515, im gonna try that my oldest daughter liked baths with mommy my son always liked being in the bath alone cuz he loved splashing the water and having room to splash everywhere lol so im gonna try it her next bath to see if she is better with it that way

my daughter is almost 5 months now and she loves showers. she won't take baths bc she loves the feel of the shower head.

My daughter wanted no part of a bath when she had her first one now she loves it she splashes away , yells at her toys and just laughs like crazy I just tried showing her every time that water was okay and fun and she seemed to have gotten that. I don't know how you feel about bathing with the baby but I did that and she seemed to like that more and helped a lot now I don't have to be in there with her and she's 10 months now. Good luck!! God Bless!!

@myangelfaith, im hoping I can figure out something bc she hated it today but then again it was her first so maybe it was just cuz it was new to her.

i have one of those. i take it and my daughter in the shower with me. shes seems to enjoy her bath more when she can see me face to face.
