2y3m DS has been less keen on baths for a coupleof months. Couldn't put my finger on why, thought it was farting/ poo related. However a couple of days ago I started emptying the bath with him in it, as we do occasionally, and he became hysterical. Tried to climb out and then he was trying to grab his parrot face cloth to rescue it. My DH put his hand in to show it was ok, and DS became more upset pulling him back.
Since then he refuses to go in the bath and sit down. DH got in with him today and DS was just as worried that he was in there.
He is fine with pulling out the sink plug and watching the water go down.
Going to stop baths for a few days but wondered if anyone else had experienced this fear?
