I put my newborn in a car seat outside the bathroom door while I took a shower – I was shamed but moms need to bathe too

BEING a new mom means sleepless nights, endless worrying, and barely any time to take care of yourself while also taking care of a weeks-old baby.

That means that, sometimes, moms have to get a little creative while they take of their newborns but sadly, this mom was shamed for taking a five-minute shower.

She then addressed those who had shamed her

In a TikTok video, mom Sonya Sed showed how she was taking a shower while alone with her newborn.

She had parked her child right outside the bathroom door – which was open – while she washed herself just a few steps away from him.

She had written that she had only taken six minutes in total to quickly rinse her body before getting back to her baby.

However, this wasn’t good enough for some moms who shamed her for coming up with the idea.

Many mom criticized her for using a car seat specifically as they claimed that the position of the baby’s head could cut off oxygen flow.

When one person asked her if she had no other place to put the sleeping baby, she said: “Actually, I have plenty of options but this is where he fell asleep on our walk, so I took advantage and showered.”

Following the negative comments she had received at the time, she was forced to share a second video.

“I literally took a six-minute body wash with my two-year-old cause moms have to make it work when we can!

“Also, people relax! I know what’s safe and unsafe for my baby.”
