What’s everyone putting their babies in /on while you have a shower now?

I’ve always put baby in this when I’m showering but she’s pretty much outgrown it now and I feel guilty putting her in as it doesn’t encourage her much to build on sitting/developmental skills etc

Hurricane 🌀 Helene

I’m seeing lots on social media about the destruction and devastation from the storm. I am far from there. But I’m having a hard time understanding where the damage is. I’m hoping someone can circle the best they can so i have something tangible to look at.
