Bath time
Hi mamas,
My nearly 8mo absolutely loved bath time, would squeal away happily, could be in there for 15-20 mins at a time but has recently flipped and started crying as soon as she gets in the tub. She goes swimming regularly and is absolutely fine in the pool and when showering before/after swimming but kicks off as soon as she’s in the bathroom. We’ve tried switching to shower, holding her so we’re showering together but nothing seems to be helping. Anyone else gone through sth similar/any advice on how to deal with this?

So I heard that if baby is teething it’s that as my little boy was the same so when bathing I made the temperature of the water slightly cooler and that actually helped. He was fine in the pool as the pool water of course is warm but not as warm as his bath. You could try that out see if it helps x
The exact same story happened to us about 2 months ago. We used to bathe before bedtime, and someone recommended trying in the afternoon/morning when it's light outside. The first two times he was a bit upset but at least not screaming, from then on he's ok. Tried again in the evening once and he cried again... never figured out what happened.
So we stick with the daylight but even then he's not enjoying it anywhere close to how he used to. And as you, swimming he's still in love with 🤷🏻♀️
