I wouldn’t worry if your daughter is stil a baby.
Shame and Taboo’s are “learned” things, something that society insists on. Kids are completely uninhibited where nakedness is concerned, they see it as natural.
When your daughter grows older, she’ll insist on privacy herself, until then, I shouldn’t worry too much unduly. Teach her that there is no need to be ashamed of her body.
Having 3 daughters under the age of 6, this is something that we are starting to think about. We have no problems with them seeing us naked, me and SO will go to attend to them in the night starkers, they’ll often sit in and chat while their Dad or I shower, and the 1 year old likes nothing better than a bath with her Daddy. We’ve been asked a few funny questions, like why do grown ups have hairy bottoms (??!) but its all very innocent.
A friend recently said he felt uncomfortable with the fact that we had pics of the girls in the bath and in the paddling pool with nothing on. I must admit that this floored me slightly, it had never occurred to me that we had done anything inappropriate. Whaddya think, have we??
no, don’t think you do.
If a grown man has a strange reaction to seeing 1 to 5 year olds naked, I’d say there’s something wrong with him, not you.
I don’t have a problem with prepubescent kids running around naked, especially in the summer!
I mean, I ran around with just a bikini bottom up until I was 8 or so (on the beach, ofcourse), as there were no breasts to hide, then!
I don’t think so - but then, we’re living in a world where the /slightest/ natural smell from a human being is reviled, people shave off signs of sexual maturity and are incredibly quick to assign sexual meaning where there is none.
Western society is pretty screwed up.

I have some pictures of my daughter in the tub and because of my discomfort level I made sure they were almost all shoulders up and nothing below the waist.
Unfortunately there are some people for whom those cute innocent baby pictures are something altogether different. It is those sickos who ruin things for everyone else.
This is why housecoats were invented and are sold in several stores.
I think you’ll find that housecoats are sold in stores so that those stores can make a profit and contribute to an attractive dividend for their shareholders.
If God had wanted us to wear housecoats in the privacy of your own homes (dressing gowns, this side of the Atlantic), he’d have made them spontaneously appear in our wardrobes.
What MetalDog and tanookie said.
There is nothing wrong with the situation in the OP. The problem lies in the prudish atmosphere that is firmly clenched around the western view of nudity, especially by the Puritan’s descendents in America.
Nudity and sexuality are two separate things. Period.
One can be nude without being sexual. Period.
Why some people, and Americans in particular, cannot grasp this little nugget of truth astounds me. The Japanese understand this, and so do most Europeans. But not the vast majority of Americans.
There was a news article a while ago in the States that discussed decontamination procedures following a nuclear, biological, or chemical attack. 50% of Americans said they would rather die than de-robe in public to undergo life-saving emergency decontamination.
Un-frickin’ believable.
The kid is 8 months old. She honestly doesn’t have the capacity to care what her caretaker is wearing, she wants to be warm, dry and fed. And on occassion, entertained. If your husband wants to tend to those needs of hers in his natural state, by all means let him.
When she gets old enough to notice you might want to get a couple of nice robes though.
Thanks everyone for weighing in. For the record, my husband shrugged and has started wearing boxers to sleep in. Which does not solve the problem of why I was so freaked about about it, but does make me feel much less skittish. Something for me to think about.
Of course some women would wonder why I’m complaning in the first place: it isn’t an issue for them because their husbands simply never go to the baby at night. 
We have naked-baby pictures around our house too - I think they are sweet.

Weighing in with my $0.02.
It’s definitely a cultural thing. My mother is Japanese, and so my brothers and I grew up seeing her in various stages of undress. Big whoop. I still do, when I go to visit.
By the same token, I have been known to wander around my own home in various stages of undress. It used to make my husband squirm, but he’s used to it now. I think.
He won’t ever do that, but we’ve reached a nice compromise - we try to shower together. It’s a nice and intimate thing without having any sexual connotation, and he doesn’t need to worry about his level of discomfort.
Besides, as my grandmother said once, when she, my mother, and I were in a hot spring bath in Japan (in the ladies’ side, when I was trying to hide behind the towel): Everyone else has the same thing you do. What’s the big deal?
My grandmother was a very wise woman.
I do think you’re overreacting a little, but if your husband is okay with boxers, great. Now, if she was an eight-YEAR-old, that would be different. I’ve seen my mom naked lots of times, but I don’t remember ever seeing my dad naked. Wearing nothing but shorts, yeah, but not NAKED. But as long as I can remember he always slept in shorts or pajama pants, so I’m guessing he wasn’t comfortable naked.
On a related note, there’s nothing like embarassing my now-19-year-old baby brother by telling him I’ve seen him naked. Not since well before puberty, thank God, I really don’t WANT to see him now!
A naked dad taking care of his infant daughter doesn’t seem like a big deal to me. I occasionally took showers with my dad until I was about three–no harm done. However, it’s your house and your family, so if you’d prefer Papa to wear underpants, more power to you.
On the baby picture note, one of my mom’s favorites of me is the “nekkid in a bucket” picture. I’m about two years old and standing naked in a big washtub. My fiance was most amused when he saw it. (Thanks, Ma!)
