2 y/o will not have a bath!!!

Our 2 year old DD has been refusing the bath for just over a week. She did a poo in the bath and has been refusing since. She has been very anxious whenever we start to run the bath - very upset. We've been trying to be calm and offer a bath without too much pressure, not wanting to increase the anxiety. Have tried a couple of new toys - bath paints and glow sticks in the bath. Both seem to have calmed her a bit, and she is ok going in the bathroom now but still refusing the bath.

Grateful for any tips or words of similar experience 😅

Will she have a shower? She doesn’t really need a bath very often. You could get away with a good wash most nights?

I agree, a shower if she'll have one, or sit/stand in the bath or shower and use a sponge and a jug.
