Phases phases phases. Tried bath early this morning and he wasn't thrilled but also wasn't screaming. Will try night bath again next week!

She liked the bath again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-of-a-sudden-12m-old-hates-the-bath#post-1257808 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 22:09:10 +0000 rawrasaur 1257808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eep. I hope this doesn't happen to us and hope it passes quickly for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-of-a-sudden-12m-old-hates-the-bath#post-1257777 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 21:57:14 +0000 KayKay 1257777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This started for us around 8-9 months and didn't totally end until she was well over a year. It got slightly better (i.e. only minimal screaming) for a week here or there, but it was typically awful and we tried everything: earlier, later, bubbles, toys, her old infant tub, showering with us, bathing with us, warmer, cooler, etc etc. </p> <p>Honestly I think she just grew out of it, and having the summer with lots of pool time (which was never an issue). </p> <p>Good luck!! It was no fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-of-a-sudden-12m-old-hates-the-bath#post-1257739 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 21:34:38 +0000 hilsy85 1257739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Phase...sucky phase, but a phase! We went through this from 11 months til 13 months or so. Then it [passed and bathtime was fun again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-of-a-sudden-12m-old-hates-the-bath#post-1257674 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 20:55:10 +0000 MrsScallop 1257674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no advice, but I can commiserate! Same thing is happening with my LO. She definitely does not enjoy baths as much anymore. Plus, if I go anywhere near her head with water, she flips out. Definitely let us (me) know if you figure something out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-of-a-sudden-12m-old-hates-the-bath#post-1257673 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 20:55:06 +0000 MsLipGloss 1257673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO (she just turned 15 months) has done this off and on during the past couple of months . . . I have had to hold her during the entire bath--it makes getting her clean and washing her hair super fun . . . not!--any time I let go it was a total scream fest. I don't know what caused it . . . but I can tell you she is back to her normal happy bathing-fool self . . . for now. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-of-a-sudden-12m-old-hates-the-bath#post-1257664 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 20:49:45 +0000 immabeetoo 1257664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has always LOVED bath time, and DH loves doing it with him. For the past week... he has acted like the water is burning lava. It was a part of his bedtime routine, but tonight we tried doing it at 4:30 instead to see if he was just getting over tired.. nope.</p> <p>Anyone else had this happen? Advice? I HATE that DH is suffering through what used to be their happy dude time :( </p>
