Ok, so my baby is 3.5 months old. She LOVES baths but when we get her out she screams like crazy and cries until she's on my boob. When she was brand new I figured it was cause she was cold and needed some more weight, now she's almost 13lbs and I wonder if she does it out of habit. We've tried everything...letting the water drain, heating pad to warm up the spot where we put her pjs on, warm towel, warm pjs, no AC,
no fan, feeding her before, drying her hair before getting her out...ahhhh!. The screaming/crying stresses us out! Any ideas on anything else that might help?

My LO did this for a long time too. I think she just knew that when she got out of the bath it was time to nurse so she just freaked out until she got the boob. Honestly she still gets kinda pissed during the dry off/put on PJs process and she's almost 9 months!

My LO did that for a while too, and I think for her it was usually the fact that she was having a pre-bed meltdown. We didn't do a bath every night, so lots of times the bath pushed her bedtime back a little later than normal, so they only thing we could do to get her to stop was do baths much much earlier.

My LO also did that around that age. All she wanted was boob as soon as she was out of the bath. Some days she was more impatient than others. I think it went away when we increased how much solids we gave her for her dinner, which is right before bath.

Sorry....LO is 15 months and usually cries after bath. I think it's because it's the end of the day and she's pretty tired by then. We just try to get her dressed and give her her lovey as soon as possible, then she calms down.

Both my kids did that for several months. Sorry, it's probably not what you wanted to hear but it's totally normal!
