Baby all of the sudden sensitive to warm water!

[SassyPants87]

Since DD has been (she's now 12 months) she's had a bath of 37.5 degrees no problems. Past two days she's been screaming as soon as she gets into the water as though she's in excruciating pain and her whole body goes bright red!
This is before I've even had a chance to put any soap/wash on her. As soon as I take her out a few mins later the redness disappears!

I have no idea what's going! I've had a look at her body and nothing is on there that I thing might cause her skin to react

Has anyone else experienced this? Might try a cooler bath tomorrow

Has been born*

How on earth do you know you bath temp to half a degree!

My bet is that it's nothing to do with the temp, she's just got fussy about the bath. Give it a week and she'll have got over things again

Is your thermometer broken?

@Zarene haha it's with a bath thermometer I wouldn't know otherwise!

Doesn't explain the red skin though

@ThirdElephant I thought this but checked with hand, elbow etc water seemed fine. I'm just so confused

Any bath products in the water?

DD developed a sudden random fear of the bath at one point when she was a baby! We found it worked to hold her sitting on the side of the bath or sink, and just let her dip her toes in first and get used to it before getting properly in.

Made for some great photos though of suspicious baby face glaring at her toes in the bath water
