Thanks for the advice. I hope soon that this will pass! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todder-suddenly-terrified-of-the-bath#post-1530044 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 14:24:12 +0000 littleveesmommy 1530044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD went through this just over a month ago and literally looked like she had seen *insert most horrific thing ever here*. I posted about it and it seems a lot of toddlers go through a bath fear around the age of 2. Maybe it's their sudden awareness to surroundings? It was a stage and, like the mommas suggested, went away after a couple weeks. Just hang in there for now! I think I was soaking wet from bathing her those weeks because when I finally plucked her out, she would cling to me for dear life sans towel. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todder-suddenly-terrified-of-the-bath#post-1529824 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 13:14:50 +0000 Sunshine710 1529824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Worrywart: We went through this phase for a week or two. Eventually it cleared up. I find the shower isn't always better but it's FASTER and so much easier to get in and out... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todder-suddenly-terrified-of-the-bath#post-1528973 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 09:41:19 +0000 Worrywart 1528973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08 - if this continues, I was going to try the shower! Thanks for the suggestion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todder-suddenly-terrified-of-the-bath#post-1528903 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 09:27:51 +0000 bunnylove08 1528903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD was scared of the bath but she is younger than your DD. Have you tried a shower? That helped my DD and she loves to shower now </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todder-suddenly-terrified-of-the-bath#post-1528838 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 09:14:25 +0000 Mamaof2 1528838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For us it was a stage - it lasted 3 weeks and just as quickly as it started it was over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todder-suddenly-terrified-of-the-bath#post-1528823 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 09:11:29 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1528823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>also, she just might be resisting the first step of bedtime. That happens for us sometimes too. blahhhhhhh toddlers are so difficult sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todder-suddenly-terrified-of-the-bath#post-1528822 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 09:10:47 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1528822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe she is worried that she could go down the drain? We talked through this issue a bit and showed C how his toys don't fit down there so he wont either. Also, C was like this after a bath tub pooping incident. It was all happening around 20 months - maybe just a stage all kids go through at some point? It will go away - I promise :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/todder-suddenly-terrified-of-the-bath#post-1528802 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 09:05:50 +0000 Worrywart 1528802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 20 month old daughter has suddenly become deathly afraid of the bath. She used to run to the bathroom after dinner every night excited for "BATH BATH!" Now when we tell her it's bathtime, she says NO! The past two weeks, I have actually gotten into the tub with her and once I'm in, she's been okay. Last night, she SCREAMED the entire time. </p> <p>Please tell me this is just a phase and it will pass! Any suggestions???? I've already tried new toys. </p>
