13 week old hates bath time

My 13 week old used to enjoy the bath but hated coming out. In the last few weeks she's started hating the bath too. Has anyone had a similar experience and found any toys that help?

I’ve actually just started putting my little one’s towel in the dryer and get it out just before she comes out because she hated coming out because of the cold! And we put muslin cloths over wherever we aren’t washing so she’s not cold! She seems to enjoy it now! We also tend to stay abit quieter because it’s near her bed time and don’t want to overstimulate her with the noises from the bath the bright light from bathroom etc I’m not sure if this will help or not tho xxxx

making sound effects, sounds weird but when i tried to bath her the first few times she just cried and cried and cried but then my mum tried to bath her making water sound effects like a 'ahh' sound when washing her hair etc. helped she began smiling and happy to bath loves it now!

we also keep the room warm! like 25 degrees yes sounds very warm for a baby but when a baby is naked its different. after that we air out the room a little bit as we bath her in the room in a baby bath, and have a bottle ready straight after!

Stroller recommendations

Hi everyone

Can I please ask for stroller reviews from anyone who loves their strollers especially if you push it on cobblestones or rough terrain.

I have a mama’s and papas Flip TX3 which I absolutely hate! Everytime I use it I get back pain from steering it. It’s also super bumpy and makes me worry about baby but she seems not to mind. Baby is 4 months and we have only used it 5 times. If you have a Flip TX3 , does it get better when baby is older and can sit up?

I chose it because of the lie flat option as I didn’t get a bassinet and also because its foldable and we live on the first floor.

I really need something which is those two things but with great suspension.

Thank you

Struggling

My baby just turned 3 weeks and although I was doing so well at the start, I feel like I’m being worn down now. I’m exclusively breastfeeding and my life being constant 2 hour increments of feeding, burping, changing and trying to soothe a fussy baby, then grabbing whatever scraps of sleep I can when he goes down is so exhausting. One of my boobs has now started hurting (not the nipple, the boob itself) and I’m so stressed at night trying to get through without my partner waking as he has work the next day. I’m not sure what I’m asking for, I suppose I’m just venting to feel less alone. I’m so grateful to have my baby, but this is so hard and I’m scared.
