Bathtime tantrum

[kylester]

My DS (4 mths) has taken to screaming when being bathed by DH. Doesn't cry nearly as much when I bath him. Is it just a phase? I hope so as is very upsettiung for all of us!
any advice?
Also, where can I get a bath support now as mothercare are not selling them any more and DS is getting too heavy to support with one arm!

Not sure of this is good practice, but when my ds was about 4 mths i started to bath him in the big bath, just a little water in the bottom, lie him down in it flat and let him splash about - he loved it. now loves swimming too. obviously you have to keep a constant eye, but even when he started turning over he was fine and managed to keep head above water. bathtime is his best time of day! hope it all improves. is the bath temperature ok? i have bathroom v warm but water only lukewarm (also he has eczema so can't have it too hot). good luck.

Thanks for that - will try the big bath this weekend - hope this is just a phase.
