A clever parenting hack will turn your shower into a bath in minutes

Melissa Carton

This is so handy!

I don’t have a bath in my home and sometimes I really wish that I did.

At first, it was just annoying not to be able to have bubble baths but then I had children and it became that little bit more inconvenient to only have a shower.

Recently I discovered a parenting hack that could help me and parents like me with this bath time predicament.

Shared by Fidgetbum this picture shows how one parent turned their shower into a bath using just a paddling pool.

So clever!

My smallest one is obsessed with water and loves going to the lake or pool for a splash about and I always feel bad that we’ve nowhere for her to do that at home, but now she may be able to paddle to her heart’s content.

Another great thing about using an inflatable pool in the shower is that it also creates a buffer between your child and the shower tiles, protecting them against injuries. Children should still be monitored the entire time that they are bathing to avoid water inhalation.

For parents living in small spaces, this is a great hack and because the pool is inflatable it can be easily deflated and stored away saving even more space.
