reluctant bather

[mamamoomins]

my 10 week old dd hates being bathed any suggestions?

If she is getting incredibly upset, why don't you just give her a really good wash all over?

Is it the stripping naked she doesn't like or actually getting in the water?

When do you bath her?

my advice is to get in the bath with her, cuddle her close to you. you will enjoy it as much as her.

i can second the sharing a bath idea - really helped me bond with dd and stopped the screaming in the bath.

use warmer water

It's difficult when it's so cold, I didn't do more than a bath a week with DS and used the sink - I did share a couple of times, which was lovely but had to have DH or Mum around as I had a CS and had to be careful.

I think the best advice is do a sort of bed bath (or change mat bath)and make it quick til spring springs and it gets abit warmer

I agree with starlover, when dd was born I was using one of those bath temp things and she hated it, I then decided to try it warmer and she has loved her bath ever since.
