Hi, LO loves being in the bath, has a great time however the tears when we get her out are just getting worse & worse!
Tried bottle straight in, warmed her towels in the dryer, cuddles etc but nothing seems to help.
Any idea’s or anyone experiencing the same?

Ours is the same and the best trick so far is to bathe her first thing after her last nap. I know it’s a little early, but for us it’s either this or terror with each bath. No tears so long as she’s warm and fresh from a nap

My little boy is the same, all excitement until I put his PJs on and screams all the way until falling asleep. He was very over tired tonight though, only had 2 v short naps.

This is my baby she's been like this for about 2 months now its horrible and I hate bathing her now 😭 loves the bath but hates getting out, we tried everything, warm towels, warm clothes, TV on as a distraction, we take her downstairs, tried upstairs, and nothing worked at all, my partner got her out the other day wrapped in a towel and just walked around the house with her until she was dry and I'd say 75% less crying, still cried a little when we lay her down to dress her, anyway I thought to try daytime bath instead of night and omg like a different baby, she was giggling whilst getting her dry and dressed, I think they are just too tired at night time, so daytime baths for us from now on

My LG was crying getting out but I've found she likes the 5 little ducks song and it completely distracts her every time so funny.

Have you tried anything sensory things to distract her, we used glow sticks hung from places along with calmingusic. Sometimes we'd do a colour changing light too. Just gives them something else to focus on

We used the shower head on our LO for ages as she wasn’t a fan of baths and she was fine with that.
Another trick someone mentioned was to drain the bath with them in and then scoop them out with the towel so it’s a gradual temperature change. We also have a mini heater in her room so it’s like a sauna in there.
