We used a water wrap I bought off etsy to hold him safely and showered with him from 4 weeks. He hated baths but was great in the shower. That's how we got him clean until he could sit on his own.

I took my son into the bath, but was worried the shower spray would irritate his face and make him cry, plus the worry about him getting slippery.

i took mine babies in the shower from about 4 weeks old, i lay a face washer on my arm and it makes the baby grip better when they get slippery from the soap.

I personally never took my boys in the shower until they were at least 6 months old. For the simple fact that babies are slippery, and this way they can sit up and play. I was afraid to drop my boys or the soap I was using would irritate their skin and eyes.
