Bath time

Is it normal for babies to be terrified of baths in bathtubs ? My girl has been doing sink baths and loves them but she’s gotten to big and water goes everywhere so twice now I’ve tried to give her a bath in tub and she just screams. (She doesn’t have but like 2 bath toys should I try more? )

Maybe try getting in the bath with her? It may be big and overwhelming. I bathed my girl in the bath since birth in a baby tub but she's outgrowing it so now I put her in a laundry basket with toys and she really likes it. I also have an Otteroo but I want to keep it for when she goes swimming in pools, she doesn't get to move as much as I'd like her to in the tub Good luck! Over time your baby will get used to it 😊

How much water do you put in there, I put just enough so she can still crawl but she still has enough to splash. Also I used to sing to her and FaceTime my sister or mom because they’re always able to make her laugh

@Necole I don’t put a lot of water in there just enough to cover her seat and she screams where u can’t hear anything

Is it possibly that the water is too cold or too hot? My daughter would cry when I made it just warm enough for the duck to light up she liked hotter water

@Natalie she has done fine with pool even been on a boat with her life vest of course and never long enough for her to be to hot She loves water usually so I was concerned bc she screamed her head off the moment she gets in the bath I don’t get it but I’ll try it thanks

@Necole I put the water halfway to the top of the laundry basket but she sat on her butt, I think it would be too high if she was in her tummy

@Natalie my daughter is a busy body she will not sit she’d much rather stand and crawl I actually had a chair for her but she kept getting out I still don’t know how
