Bath time = crying


Bath time in our house is not a happy time for anyone involved. Just thought I would share our misery with everyone.

Josie does not like the bathtub. She does not like getting a bath. We have tried the following without sucess:
Little bit of water, Lots of water, Bubbles, Toys, a Shower

We even tried it with the DVD player in the room showing The Wiggles. She hated it still. Any suggestions on this one?

  1. She even asked that the Wiggles be turned off. I think she didn't want them implicated in bath time.

  2. Sorry bathtime is so upsetting for her!! I understand some kids just hate it! Does she like water in general? like a pool? What if she took a bath with a friend? Like if Josie and a friend wore their suits in the tub and had a little party?? When Renee visited Madeline and Emily took baths together...they LOVED it!! But neither of them dislike baths to begin with. Just a thought...

  3. Josie hates the pool too. She doesn't like the baby pool or my mom's big pool. I tried a suggestion from my sister and kinda do a sponge bath kinda thing with a small tub of water in the big tub with no water in the big tub. That was a no go. I am starting to think it might be the whole naked in the bathroom thing. I think this becuase she started to cry and carry on when i took her diaper off and put her in an empty tub. I don't know if the bath with a friend will help or not becuase she still wants nothing to do with the baby pool even after Jackson had a great time in it. So we just try to give her a bath 2 or 3 times a week. I am going to try a baby shower wand next.
