2month old hates the bath

He used to love it until his father started helping out. Now he cries the second he gets in. I have even tried co bathing with him, he seems not to like getting his face and hair washed? How do I make him feel comfortable? What are we doing wrong? Bath time is just miserable!

Just do sponge baths for now focusing on nappy area and neck. Leave it a couple of weeks and try again. Babies don’t need bathing every day.

Thank you I've been trying to tell my boyfriend that every other day is too much. Although I do was his face everyday and he can't stand that either. He's also having skin problems, I'm not sure what it is maybe that's why he doesn't like the bath. I just hope he's not in pain, I'm probably going to have to take him to the doctor.

My 3 month old hates it unless the water is a bit warmer than it technically should be. She'll tolerate it if a bit warmer but definitely isn't a water baby!
