Omg, I'm having the same issue with my little girl🙈 she's literally screaming and trying to climb out of the bath tub😭🙈 it's very stressful. @Emily-Mai I'll try your way 🤞
@Evie we were having issues for weeks we tried everything in the bath and so in the end gave up! She has a bath as long as it’s not hair wash day 😂 Anything is worth a try! Let me know how you get on!!! (My LG is an Evie too 🥰)
My little girl was exactly the same. I have bought her a doll and bathtub. when she is in the bath she also baths her doll. I have also started using a shower cap shield to stop water going in her face when rinsing her hair. She is now alot more relaxed during bath time.
@Emily-Mai I bath with her our little boy (6 months old). She helps to wash him and his hair, but she still won't allow me to do hers. That only started about 4 weeks ago.🤷🏻♀️ Now, I also don't wash her hair often, only once or when needed. I'll try your way tomorrow 🫣🤞x
Honestly it’s just a phase. My eldest used to be like it, and now he doesn’t care. We’re going through it too, but you’ve just to be consistent, and know it does improve.
I give them a dry flannel to hold over their eyes which works 90% of the time!
So stressful and we’ve absolutely been there too - I ask my little girl to hold a dry flannel over her own eyes to stop the water getting in and that works! We have tried maybe half a dozen things before (look up at the light, watch mummy sing twinkle twinkle etc!) - I’ve also seen these visor type things you can buy on Amazon to stop the water running on their faces! Good luck mama - it’s all a phase xxx
My son hates hair wash days and I can’t bare to do it on my own as the crying breaks my heart. He just doesn’t like water on his face and going down his ears etc. I have a bath with him and when I wash his hair his dad will have YouTube on his phone and hold it at an angle so that his head is tilted enough for me to wash it and that works for us and I know it won’t be forever
So we went through the same thing and have started to get her to shower with us now! I get in the shower and wash my hair (while her and my partner are in the bathroom so she can see it’s not bad!) and then when I have done mine she comes in with me and I hold her and we wash her hair! This has been working for us! She is much happier about that as I can change the water pressure so it can be slower 😊worth a try! Although one warning… they are super slippery when you are both wet 😂
