DS doesn't mind bathtime. We do it during the day (awake time) rather than as part of the nighttime routine. Is the water a good temp? I'm not sure of anything you can do besides try to make sure your LO isn't getting cold. One time, DS got really really upset when he wasn't warm enough.
No, but up until recently we used the infant/toddler tub on the counter in the bathroom and DS would LOVE to look at himself in the mirror! Maybe try giving your LO a bath in front of a mirror to keep preoccupied?
Could you try giving him a bath somewhere else? Like if you normally do it in the sink try the bathtub or vice-versa? My DS used to hate bathtime until I moved him out of the big bathtub and into the kitchen sink. Ever since then he absolutely loves it!
Re: Anyone else have a 5 month old that...
I do. Me. Me.
I may have to try some of these things because he is just so miserable. : (
Same here. The only way he will tolerate it is if I get in with him but thats just annoying.
