And really cute :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtime-excitement-or-distress#post-2537582 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 06:46:20 +0000 travellingbee 2537582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds like excitement. My LO screams with rage and it's quite clear he hates baths. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtime-excitement-or-distress#post-2537580 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 06:43:35 +0000 looch 2537580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been both, there was a period of time where my son detested bathing and of course it was in the summer, when he really needed to be scrubbed every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtime-excitement-or-distress#post-2537527 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 22:39:44 +0000 youboots 2537527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Excitement. My DD sobbed until at least 4-5 months. Showers only for that kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtime-excitement-or-distress#post-2537523 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 22:24:41 +0000 anonysquire 2537523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Excited!!! 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! My 9 month old goes NUTS and has for awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtime-excitement-or-distress#post-2536884 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 11:23:03 +0000 PawPrints 2536884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whoa. That sounds pretty funny! I vote excitement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtime-excitement-or-distress#post-2536878 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 11:18:44 +0000 shabang 2536878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah, thanks for the reassurance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bathtime-excitement-or-distress#post-2536824 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 10:38:06 +0000 Portboston 2536824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 9 month old used to go bonkers in the tub. 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>
