Advice on bath time?

Baby is 5 months (4 corrected) and was never a fan of her baths but has lately become absolutely hysterical and completely inconsolable for long periods of time if we attempt to bathe her. (She even became like that when I hugged her for a moment while wearing a towel after my own shower) We were bathing her weekly...

Not pooing

Baby boy only poos once or twice a week usually however we are now on day 6 no poo … I wouldn’t say he’s really uncomfortable but he does sometimes make a noise when he’s pumping. He has been passing wind, just no poo and I’ve tried bicycle movements with his legs and tummy strokes … what do I do?

Hair washing

Now this might seem like a silly question but how do you wash your 12 month olds hair in thr bath if he's in a bath seat? I use a jug and pour it on but it sometimes goes in his fave and he absolutely hates it!

Bath time phobia

Is anyone else’s little one who previously loved bath time suddenly terrified of the water? My little girl used to be impossible to get out of the bath but now she cries when she’s put in, won’t sit down at all and only puts up with a quick wash if myself or my husband are in with her. Not sure where the fear has co...
