LO hating the bath

Anyone’s baby now no longer like the bath?
My LG hates sitting in the bath now and gets upset by it but we’ve always bathed her every night since newborn so not sure what’s happened.
Anyone got any tips to help her like the bath again

My LB has just reached this stage as well! He used to love baths, did not want to leave the water. But past few days, he cries when we put him in the bath.
No matter the bubbles or toys.

I literally posted about this a few days ago my little boy is the same. I’ve tired changing the time of day or switching between baths and showers. I’ve now had to stop it as part of the bed time routine because he just gets so upset and instead try and bath him before dinner. Any advice is welcome

Someone sent me this article which may help https://www.whattoexpect.com/toddler/behavior/resisting-bath-time.aspx

Might give some insight.
Have you placed a nonslip mat in the bath?
Maybe get one of those face protectors so water isn't on his face.
Has he bath toys?
Alternate bath vs. shower?

I thought I saw someone post about going through it aswell but couldn’t find the post. Thankyou for the artical.
Let’s hope it’s another phase & it doesn’t last long and they go back to liking baths soon
