How Do You Shower with a Toddler Around?

Hi Ladies! My 12 month old is outgrowing the exersaucer and I don't know what to do when I need to get ready for work in the morning and my husband is gone to work already. How do other mom's get their shower in with a walking and curious little one? I've relied on the exersaucer for so long or just hoping that she sleeps in. The bathroom and the nearest room (kitchen) is not a place to have her wander around in safely. I could use some logistical help, you moms always help with great suggestions!

Jumperoo or Exersaucer

I need help deciding whether to buy my son (four-months-old) an exersaucer or a jumperoo. Because he will only be in it for a short time, I only want to buy one of them, and I'm not sure which is the better buy. We have all the other items in the Fisher Price "Precious Planet" series, so I've been trying to decide between the Precious Planet Jumperoo and the Evenflo Megasaucer. EDIT**With either one, I will not begin to use until the developmentally appropriate time.

Daughter Tipping over in Bouncy Seat

Hi Moms, My almost 5 month old daughter is uable to sit up unassisted, yet she pulls herself up to sitting while in her bouncy seat and then tips over the side. I've had to retire the bouncy seat (Fisher Price Aquarium) because this is obviously dangerous. So the question is, where do I put her when I need to put her down? We have bebe pod (like a bumbo seat) but she gets tired/bored/uncomfortable in that very quickly. Any other ideas? We have a Jumperoo and Exersaucer in storage that I won't be able to get to for another couple of...

Cry It Out Method

My son is 12 weeks and has trouble with napping on his own without being held during the day. My Doctor suggested the cry it out method. Is he too young for this? And how did you do this if you've tried it. She said to start with 5 minutes of crying and work your way up to 20. I can hardly last 5 minutes. After 5 minutes I go in and try to calm him without picking him up, but he just screams. It's so hard. I've only tried it one day. Please share your experiences. Thanks~

Exersaucer Vs. Jumperoo

Hi, my daughter is 4 months old and her doctor said she's ready for the exersaucer. The only problem is I am torn between the jumperoo and an exersaucer. My daughter seems to get bored easily and I'm afraid jumping won't be enough to entertain her. However,I love the idea of her getting some exercise. We could get both, but they take up so much floor space. Any recommendations? Thanks so much!

Separation Anxiety 7 Month Old

My 7 month old is really attached to me right now. This last week when my sister-in-law watched him for a few hours and he screamed for 2 hours at the top of his lungs because I left him, he did the same thing to his daycare lady. I don't work summers and so I have been with him almost constantly for 2 months now, I also breastfeed so I think he is a little more attached because he likes to have his favorite food supply around. I need to go back to work in 1 month and even though he has been going to daycare twice per week to help the...
