Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Anyones LO hate baths?

My LO used to love baths.  The last few weeks she just started hating them. She stands the entire time crying.  I try to distract her and make it fun but it doesn't work.  What can I do to stop the crying?  The water has never been to cold or hot so I don't know where the sudden chnage came from.  I also got in with her once and that didn't work either.

Re: Anyones LO hate baths?

  • DD's not a huge fan. I think it's because she hates getting her hair washed (or having her hair touched in any way!!) I got her a few new bath toys and that seems to help. Maybe some of those bathtub crayons or fingerpaints would help? We also sing a song when we wash her hair so that she knows when the song is over, so is the torture (and occasionally the song actually distracts her :) )

  • Mine used to LOVE LOVE LOVE baths, all of a sudden one day she began screaming through them.  She comes in the shower with me now and likes it (or at least tolerates it much more). 
  • Try getting some new toys for the bath.  DS used to hate them and we hate to resort to showers for five months.  I bought a Thomas boat for the bath and bath crayons and he loves bathtime again.
