DS (11mo) has started hating baths. Any ideas?

[EffiePerine]

DS used to love his baths, happily splashing about. The past few times he has screamed blue murder, tried to climb out and generally got very distressed. We have been moving between different houses and he also went to the seaside for the first time over the bank holiday weekend and tried paddling (didn;t like it). Is this a Stage? Do I persevere or let him get grubby? I can give him a wash no prob but what about his hair?

Hi - there was a similar thread here and everyone agreed that it is a phase, there is also some advice there.
Hope he goes thru it quickly

Aha - serves me right for not searching for previous threads . Tried the bathing together thing yesterday but still tears and howls. Might leave it a week and try again with a tiny amount of water. He's started crying as soon as I start filling the bath [sigh]

yep def. a phase, dd went a month of the same thing (it was when she realised she could stand up I think) and we just carried on and just did it quicker, I think, then one day I bathed her alone, very calmly and she was fine.
