Took a shower with the baby

I just want to throw this out there in case it helps someone. I am 12 weeks pp. Baby is 5 weeks adjusted.

I have had terrible lower back issues since my early 20s, I am now 37. My husband is 40. It's not easy to give our baby a bath in the bathtub. Between back and knee pain, it's become dreaded. I started getting major anxiety when it was time for a bath. I feel like our baby wasn't getting the best experience because both of us are so uncomfortable when leaning over the tub.

Once I got clean in the shower today, I had my husband bring the baby to me. She instantly clung to me and was extremely calm. She seemed to love the water coming from the shower head. I was able to wash her freely, and wasn't uncomfortable. It was a great experience for the both of us.

If you are struggling with bath time due to back/knee/hip pain, this is a game changer.
