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!

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
