Anyone else's LO hate bath time?

So for the last couple of weeks, LO has hated her baths. She literally cries from the moment she even sees the bathtub to the moment I take her out. We have tried everything we can think of to try to distract her while she's in there. She did this once before for a few weeks during the summer, but has been fine ever since until recently. Is anyone else experiencing this or have any advice? Thanks in advance!

    My DD loves the bath thankfully, that stinks she is having such a hard time. When there is something she doesn't like to do I try to engage her more, DD has to "throw" in all of the bath toys. We keep them in a bin she knows that is her "job."

    My DD hates to put on her coat in the morning, so I made up a song about all the steps I take, putting her shoes on, and putting on her jacket. She fusses a lot less when songs/ singing are envolved.
    Good luck, hope it gets better. Bath time can be so much fun.

    My older DD hated it starting around 10 mo. She was like a feral cat. For months I would get in the bath with her and have her sit on my lap. No part of her could be submerged initially. We moved slowly with getting her more into the water and making bath time super fun. After about 6 mo she was over it. Fortunately we haven't had this repeat with Graham.

    Yes. It just started about a month ago. I tried warmer water, colder water, etc. she seems to really hate the rinsing of her hair. She refuses to look up so the water goes down her face. I tried holding a dry washcloth over her but she goes too crazy. Ugh.

    DD used to love her bath, and we always give the kids their baths together. About two months ago she decided to just scream at bathtime instead. DS went through this phase too and I can't wait for the phase to be over!

    I generally hate getting ready for bath time, right after bath time, and any other time it involving getting dressed/undressed/putting coat on/putting shoes on/etc. etc.

    The bath itself isn't bad (unless we do it later then normal and she's very tired), but she hates getting undressed, then she hates getting dressed, then she doesn't want to be put down from the time the pjs get on to when she gets her bottle and falls asleep. Mornings are also a bit hellish most days now because of all the above involved in getting out the door.
