Stupid question!

OH has had to go away today until Tuesday for work so I'm home alone with Jake, who's 3 weeks old tomorrow.

I'm worried about what to do with Jake whilst I'm having a shower? Would you leave him in his crib in the bedroon or put him in his car seat in the bathroom with you? I'd normally leave him in his crib whilst I'm drying my hair in the next bedroom and I'd keep popping into our bedroom to check on him but I'm not sure if it's safe to do this when I'm in the shower and can't check on him easily.

Am quite anxious about having him by myself for the next couple of days if I'm honest although I've got a few things on so will be getting out and about with him. OH normally works from home and although has to spend a few days out a week he's normally only an hour away max but he's had to go to Devon which is 4 hours away!

I put him in his carrycot on the bathroom floor and he was quite happy listening to the sound of the water whilst I had my shower. At least I know what to do tomorrow morning now.

He also loved listening to the hairdryer and cried as soon as I turned it off!
