My kid hates the bath

JackoftheBox

Any suggestions? He screams and tries to crawl out the entire time. This happened out of the blue about 4 days ago. A girl at my work suggested bath crayons. He has toys and I have tried bubbles.

I'm not sure how old your DS is but my younger DD went though a phase like this around 9 months. I didn't really change anything, just made baths quick and eventually she got over it. Disclaimer: I don't give my kids a lot of baths because in lazy.

Try the shower?

The Crayola tablets that change the water color helped us.  At Target, at least, they are in the adult body wash section.

I'm with mbenit. DS went through this and then went through it again when we started putting him in the shower with us. Honestly, I just ignored him and washed as fast as possible. He loves the shower now!

Mine started that at just a little older. There are times I have bathed him while he stands in the water and screams the whole time. 

This. We went through that phase and I just kept bathing him until he got over it.

Mine too and she's 2. I think it's because she knows that after tubby time bedtime follows shortly after.

We got the color changing bath tablets, bath markers, and bubbles. It took a lot of coaxing but he did finally sit down and take a bath. We will see how tonight goes! Thanks for the tips ladies

i stock up on glow sticks from the dollar bins at target and once in awhile i let the kids have "disco bathtime".  i throw some glow sticks in the bath, turn down the lights and bring in the ipod for music.
