At What Age Should I Stop Bringing My Toddler in the Shower with Me?

My 6 yr. old DD still sees me naked every once in a while.
Sometimes I still toss her in the shower w/ me.
Whatever you are comfortable w/.
But at 2 I wouldn't have any worries.

I shower with my 26mo dd, I usually go first get me done then bring her in get her done then she "plays" for a few while I get dressed. Hubby will shower with her but she has "yanked" his chain a couple of time, so I dont think it will be lasting too much longer. He now wears a towel when she comes up. Not bc he thinks nudity is wrong he is just protecting his manhood. lol

Are you her mother or her father?

If you were her father, maybe 5-ish for just the being nude part. The showering should stop sooner.

If you're her mom, why would you ever care if she saw you nude? Girls and women use the same locker rooms and are often nude in front of each other. For just the nude part, I'd say she'll never be too old for her to see you nude. Keep showering with her as long as she's willing and it's convenient.

My son just turned 5 yesterday and still showers with me.. I often wondered the same thing.. He doesn't EVER ask questions though. I guess when he does or it becomes awkward, we will stop.. For right now, it's easier and he doesn't pay attention to any body parts, he's too busy playing with his toys in the shower..

When you want it to stop, then it should stop. In our house, it has never been a big deal. I don't want my girls to think that their naked bodies are something to be ashamed of, and furthermore, I think it's important for girls especially to be able to see what "normal" women's bodies look like, and that even though I have a "normal" body, I am not ashamed that I don't look like a model or movie star. They are bombarded with images from advertisements and TV where the women are airbrushed, nipped, tucked, etc. If that is all they have to compare themselves to, what will they think? If you don't make a big deal out of your child seeing you naked, then it will not be a big deal.

Everyone in our family runs around our house naked at least once every day. Sometimes, if it's really warm, some of us will stay in the buff all day. My 3 and 5 year olds shower with me everyday - I don't particularly want them to because they hog the water, but they love playing in there, and I like them to be that little bit cleaner. My 6 year old usually showers by himself, but that's because he likes all the water to himself. I am the only female in our house, and it is just not an issue for us. My boys know all the proper names for men's and women's bits, and it's all so matter-of-fact the embarrassment/shyness etc is just not there. They've also asked me how babies are made, and I gave them the proper story of reproduction. They got a bit bored by it. I suppose I'll be led by their development and when they get a bit more modest or anytime they feel like it, they can keep their clothes on and shower privately as they wish.

As long as neither of you are uncomfortable. My daughter is 4.5 and at times when we are in a hurry she jumps in the shower with me. She doesnt ask any questions or seem to even care ;)

Since she's a girl I don't see anything wrong with you showering with her for a few years at all. I only showered with the boys when they where really little probably under 3 but my husband still showered with our youngest when he was about 5 I think sometimes when they both needed a shower and he would go first and then our son would get in and wash up. With the same parts it's not as much of an issue.

I still shower with my 6 y/o... my 2 month old son, we'll see when showering together starts feeling uncomfortable. We are pretty much a laid back semi-nudist family.

For me, it's when they start staring and asking questions which is around the 2 1/2-3 mark. That is just me personally.

I don't think it matters, as long as you are comfortable with it and so is she. She will probably want to stop on her own before you even say anything.

I showered with my mother until I was about 9 years old. Then I got all weirded out about her seeing my budding lady-parts! That is why I stopped it all on my own and started asking to take my own showers.

She's a girl so i don't think it matters. In fact when my dad use to take me camping we use to all use the camp grounds showers together 9my dad me and my little brother, because my dad didn't want to send his six year old daughter in to shower by herself in a public bathroom. Didn't scar me any.

I still shower and sometimes hop in the tub with my 4 year old ( I have a big corner bath, I have seen jacuzzis that were smaller than my tub) It has never seemed uncomfortable or a big deal. I still go in and wash my daughters hair when she is in the tub and she is nearly 11. Nudity has never been a big deal in my family. I will change into swim suits in front of my own mother or sister and we have definitely been in the bathroom at the same time. I think as long as you are comfortable it is ok.

growing up, I always saw my mom naked - not my dad. Except in his underwear. My girls are 4 and 5, infant son is 5 months old. I get naked in front of the kids still. I don't think I need to not be. My hubby does not get nude in front of the girls anymore.
I say who cares she's little. You're both female.

Everyone's told me "When it starts to feel uncomfortable for either of you" is when you should stop. My 3.5 yr old son still takes an occasional shower with his dad or with me (once a month with me probably, once or twice a month with dad). I think it's almost time to quit time with me, as he will say sometimes "Nipples! Ha ha!" With Dad I'm fine with that. With me, not so much.

every once in a while I still shower with my 6 year old daughter. Sometimes we just don't have time to do it at night, so to save time in the morning, I just have her (and my 4 year old too) hop on in!

When you and the child start feeling uncomfortable. When he started asking questions about my body parts. So around 3 ish we stopped showerin even when it seemed to be so much faster. I have stopped my kiddos showering and bathing they are 5 (boy) and 3 (girl).

I stopped regularly at 2... but every now and then, I have to hose off my 3 1/2 yr old in the shower and it's easiest to have him join me when I'm right about to get out myself. The 5 yr old is definitely way too old.

A) You're both girls. B) Even with my 3 1/2 year old boy-- having him in the shower WITH me is a LOT less destructive than whatever he'd get into while I showered by myself! Have you ever noticed how many of the disasters on http://www.shitmykidsruined.com/ happened while mom was in the shower??

i have never been one to share the shower...don't know why!

since you are both female i would not think it would be too big of a deal (although you have to remember it's different in each family.) my son is 5 and it was around 3 or so that i started noticing him "noticing" when i changed clothes while walking around the house (you know, like ya do..lol!) so i started being more private. i knew i'd made the right decision when we were cuddling on the couch and he was "fluffing his pillow"...which happened to be my breast...lol.

it is really up to you and how comfortable you feel with it.

when your child is a toddler they should stop showering with you in my personal opinion. My kids never showered with me or my husband there is just a personal space issue there.

Your child will pick up on how you feel about it. I don't know why nudity is made out to be such a big deal as it is in this country. I am no nudist, but my 9 year old sees me getting dressed, or going in/out of the shower - who cares ? When you make it a big deal, then it will be. In Finland, entire families of all ages (adult, teen, to toddler) go in the sauna together naked - its not a big deal. Its their culture and mindset.
When your child feels embarrassed to walk in on you, or usually when they become a teenager and are more self-conscious about their bodies, they will not want you to walk in on them and they won't walk in on you....trust me you will know when that happens, until then, don't worry about it.

Personally, I thinks it 's not as much of an issue for same gender parents. I think my husband has a little more time, since they have all the same parts!! (Although, he feels a bit uncomfortable with the idea to begin with.) My son is 2 1/2 and he has recently noticed a difference between he and I. So, he does not see me nude anymore. I think for opposite gender children age 4-5 is when it really needs to stop, if it hasn't already. I find that really inappropriate. Again, just for me and my family.

It stops when someone is uncomfortable. No one else can tell you when it will be. You'll know when the time comes.

My son showered with me until he was about 3 - he showered with his dad until he was about 4.
