What finally calmed him down was playing music. I don't know if it was a distraction, or just calming but it really worked for us. We moved again when he was 19 months (I know!) and he adjusted much better to that new bath, maybe he understood things better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-hates-baths#post-2541286 Wed, 04 May 2016 15:23:14 +0000 Truth Bombs 2541286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you bathing her with your older LO? That might make it more fun and less upsetting. Other options we've tried when LO is resisting baths is to get in with her ourselves, or just bring her in the shower. My 3 year old now prefers showers to baths. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-hates-baths#post-2541284 Wed, 04 May 2016 15:20:03 +0000 kce56 2541284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 13-month-old absolutely hates bathtime. Ever since we transitioned her to a regular bathtub from the baby tub months ago she refuses to sit down, holds on to the edge of the tub and screams her head off. Initially we thought this was because we bathe her before bed and she's exhausted but she's happy as soon as we take out of the tub. My older child always loved the bath so I'm at a total loss of what to do. Any ideas on how to make bathtime a less painful process? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtime-excitement-or-distress#post-2537679 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 11:44:30 +0000 shabang 2537679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtime-excitement-or-distress#post-2537594 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 07:37:33 +0000 SweetiePie 2537594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shannon: Sounds like excitement!

Still at 2yrs and 1 yr, they climb into the bathtub whenever we go in the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtime-excitement-or-distress#post-2537008 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 13:02:28 +0000 lovehoneybee 2537008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like excitement! DD is the same way! DS cried for months during bathtime....he made it very clear he wasn't happy in the water (although at 3.5 he's a little fish!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtime-excitement-or-distress#post-2537004 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 13:00:10 +0000 mfa_lady 2537004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Excitement for sure! My DD was the same way. She's 16 months old and doesn't freak out like that anymore but still LOVES bath time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtime-excitement-or-distress#post-2536991 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 12:55:30 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2536991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with pp's, I think it's excitement, too! My LO has been like this for many months, even when she goes into the bath tired &amp; cranky. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtime-excitement-or-distress#post-2536983 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 12:51:55 +0000 shabang 2536983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't want to enjoy it too much in case there was cause for concern. My first child was never like this. But now, bathtime PARTY! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtime-excitement-or-distress#post-2536946 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 12:34:16 +0000 Raindrop 2536946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is always a bit hyper and it sounds like him during a bath too. I think it's super cute! He kicks and laughs and flaps his arms and tries to splash water on me and tries to get the facet. It's a crazy time. I love it! I think he loves it too. I vote excitement also! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtime-excitement-or-distress#post-2536944 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 12:28:57 +0000 Dahlia 2536944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Excitement!

Sounds just like your LO. Kicking and flailing his arms. He would smile and squeal a ton too. It was adorable. He's calmed down a lot since then but still enjoys bath time. </p> <p>I vote excitement! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtime-excitement-or-distress#post-2536810 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 10:29:15 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2536810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD loves her bath. At four months she would kick her legs and wave her hands around quite a bit. My DH would get soaked during her bath. She's 6.5 months and plays with a rubber ducky during her bath now. I think it sounds like she likes it. I think she would cry if she was upset. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtime-excitement-or-distress#post-2536802 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 10:26:22 +0000 shabang 2536802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost 4mo goes absolutely nuts when we give her a bath and this may sound silly, but I can't tell if it's excitement or distress. She kicks her legs like crazy, straightens her body repeatedly, and flails her arms the whole time. She's in one of those baby bathtubs, and the water is not too hot or too cold. She doesn't cry at all, and if I can get her to slow down enough to make eye contact, she will smile at me, but it's just this crazy amount of movement that makes me wonder if she's really freaked out? She's usually a pretty chill baby. Or maybe she is just having the time of her life in there and LOVES the water. Anyone experience anything similar? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brands-for-eczema#post-2130059 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 07:16:51 +0000 edelweiss 2130059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i tried aveeno eczema cream, aquaphor, haus botanicals, md moms silk, cetaphil, vanicream, cerave, and triple cream (from the makers of triple paste) on LO's eczema. i like cetaphil and vanicream for maintenance, but for actual eczema breakouts, triple cream worked the best for us (you can find it on amazon). warning: it is super thick and pasty, so it's really for spot use, not for overall use. </p> <p>i found aquaphor too messy, and the aveeno didn't seem like it did much. haus and md moms silk were okay, but way too expensive for how much we needed and triple cream seemed better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brands-for-eczema#post-2130045 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 06:53:02 +0000 hellobeeboston 2130045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just get small patches in the winter but my son has had it all over his body and arms in the past 2 winters.... We have tried a ton of products.... This winter we did Mustela, babyganics, aquaphor, eucerin eczema, aveeno and a few others.... We found that the aveeno bath worked best ( and was cheapest) and did babyganics eczema body lotion. My sister also went through a lot of products with her daughter and loved California baby sensitive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brands-for-eczema#post-2130039 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 06:45:07 +0000 blackbird 2130039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the babyganics wash and Cetaphil and aquaphor cream. E had such a bad outbreak that we had to use an RX on her. The babyganics is not scented but subtly reminds me of what a number 2 pencil smells like. Probably all the oatmeal. They make a cream, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brands-for-eczema#post-2130019 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 06:05:45 +0000 yin 2130019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vanicream!
