Bathtime troubles


Recommended Posts

Is your lo teething?


My little girl does exactly the same when she has a sore bottom from teething. The fear that the water will hurt her continues for a couple of days after her precious behind has cleared up. When it's really bad she clings onto my husband and I for dear life not wanting to go anywhere near the water so we just squeeze a wet flannel over her and down her back instead.

think my son went through this at similar age - and has def complained about it hurting if for e.g. he's had an upset tummy. We just gave baths a break for a bit or went longer between them I think, didn't push it, and I think got some new bath toys to tempt him back when he was ready. Now can't get him out of there...

We have been through similar with Baby Knomester. We never really understood what it was that upset him, but as Fuschia recommends, we just got in the bath with him and we do the same now if, for example we're away and it's a different bathroom which can sometimes freak him out. We also changed from a bath every evening to every other evening or even every third day unless he is particularly mucky!

Our son went through the same thing around the same age. Under duress he would get in the bath and then stand up and wouldn't sit and hated water on him. Our break through was when we had baths less often (there's no reason why they need one a day) and made it into more of a special occassion. So we have them in the afternoon, we spend quite a long time in the bath and we have bubbles, sometimes music playing on the radio and toys and it's now a lot of fun and he actually asks for baths. Good luck!

We had the same problem with our 18 month old recently. The breakthrough for us was that we got the shower going while holding it(we have a shower-into-the-bath arrangement) just before he got in and he wanted to play with it so much that he didn't even notice us putting him in! Once he'd got tired of the shower, he did briefly ask to come out but was distracted by his toys. He now still asks for the shower to be put on before he gets in but now hardly plays with it and is as relaxed as he was before! Good luck!

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
