Terrified of the ducky tub!

Poor B!  He is literally terrified of the ducky tub.  We blew it up tonight and he was wary of it as we were filling it up.  He kept looking at it and then burying his head in DH's shoulder.  We undressed him (and he started crying) and I stuck him in it and he stiffened up and grabbed onto me and was still crying.  I got him calmed down and distracted enough to give him a quick wash.  He turned around and saw the dreaded ducky head and freaked out.  He was grabbing for me and crying.  Poor kid.  No more ducky tub for him.  

Hmmm, do you think it had anything to do with the fact that I blew it up with the loud air mattress pump in the bathroom?  He watched it come to life. Bad mommy!

    Awww poor DS.  Maybe it'll just take him a few times to become accustomed to it.  It could have been the air pump.  I want to buy DS one so bad, but I don't know yet.

    We don't have one, but I've heard it suggested that you let him play in it without water.  That way they can get used to it.  GL.

    I have one that is not a duck...you could get one of those.  My daughter freaks at the sound of the air mattress pump.  Poor little guy.

    Awww poor little guy! I never thought of DS being afraid of it... He is just starting to sit and I was thinking of getting one. Maybe I will look for one without the big duck head...
