what can I do to get my baby to enjoy bath time?

Question

My baby boy is now 9 weeks old, he loves having his hair washed and then as soon as I put him in the bath he screams the place down, any advice on what I can do to get him go enjoy the water ? I really want to take him swimming! 💙

Answer

Make sure he is not hungry ( I tried forcing baths on my girls before giving them a bottle and boy was that a mistake!!  Just because I wanted a bath /bottle /bed routine. It works much better for us to feed them first!)

I also started cranking the heat in the bathroom to 25 degrees before bath time - as soon as I did that my girls started loving bath time!  I think they were just a little chilly before,  their bodies are so sensitive to temperature.

Good luck :-)

Answer

Awww, he doesn't know what he's missing. Have you tried feeding him first? Or maybe massaging during the bath? Hope this gets better for you soon.

Answer

Get in with him!!
