help on how to get DS to like bath time

My DS HATES getting a bath and screams at the top of his lungs the entire time.  I know the water temp is not the problem.  I have no idea what to do.  I bathe him every 2 days because it upsets him so much but I'd like to do it more often.  HELP!!!

    not sure if this is part of the issue - but LO already hates getting certain areas washed or touched - like her head an arms especially. Could you maybe do something where some baths are just "fun" baths and all about the water and being warm and not trying to wash anything?

    We tried about 5 times to give dd her in her baby tub. She did not like it at all.So we started putting her in the tub with me, and we have no had any problems since!

     Same here. LO did not like the baby tub one bit. Usually I have my fiance or I take a shower first so the bathroom is nice and steamy and then LO and I take a bath together. She likes it and it's a great time for us to bond.

    Same here for both dd's, also make sure lo is not hungry.

    You just have to keep trying and figuring out what it is he doesnt like. DD loves her baths now but will scream when i wash her face...so i save that for last and gently wipe with a wash cloth.

    Also, I used to use Aveeno lavender calming wash and she screamed all the freaking time. One day I tried a new wash by chance (something unscented) and she didnt make a peep. A few nights later I went back to the lavender wash and she screamed again. I tested that theroy a few times and yep..it was the smell. Same with the lotion. Aparently it isnt so calming....
