My 9 month DD has loved her bath from very early. At 6 months she moved from baby bath to normal bath with a non slip bath mat in and was no problem at all. She usually sits up and splashes/ plays with toys/ tries to grab handles etc. and smiles the whole time. One night over a wk ago, she totally freaked out getting into the bath and clung onto me as I lowered her in. By the time she was in, she was howling. We didn't keep her in long as it was so stressful. Every night since then (9 nights) its been the same. Now when she's in, if she's lying down with me holding her then she's fine, but as soon as you start to lift her to a sitting position, she freaks out again and cries. I just wondered if anyone had any ideas what to do as bath time used to be really enjoyable for her and us and we just cannot work out what's wrong. Thanks.
