  DD has been refusing baths for about a month now. I've tried everything. A few times a week I'll bring a bowl of water unto the living room, turn the tv in and  wipe her down. Everything I've read says to just wait it out. Ugh!!

  We are dealing with this as well.  He is just "too busy" to be taken away from what he's doing for a bath!  What I'm finding works best is to find a new toy or household item (I've used spatulas, tupperware, etc) that's bathtub safe that he's never played with before, and lure him in with that.  Then we sing songs and play games in the tub with those items.  It works just long enough to get him clean.  You might also try something like bathtub "crayons" or even music to distract.

   Good luck.

  My DS has decided that he's over bath time as well....he usually gives us a minute or 2 in the tub before the freak out begins so it's not a huge issue yet. However, he really likes taking showers....have you tried that yet? If not, it might be worth a shot!

  DD went through a phase of this as well.  I put her plastic toy elmo and friends in and that worked for a couple days.  The shower was awful- she hated it, however loves the squirt zone at the park- I don't get it.

  New toys is the best advice I think!
