Bath time.. Help!

My little girl absolutely loves baths and can't get into the quick enough.. the last week, I'd say, she's done a complete 360. She's having tantrums, she hears the bath running and she starts hysterically crying. If we manage to get her in, then she will just sob her heart out. Is this normal? It honestly breaks my heart. She gets so worked up about having a bath now. I don't want to give in and say no baths as it's part of her bedtime routine, equally I don't want to force the issue and make her hate it even more. Any advice?! Please! She's 17 months old.

Both of mine have gone through this phase! Both are back to loving them again 😂 we just made baths very shallow with lots of toys and bubbles to make it fun and minimal stress, their hair didn't get washed as often then it didn't matter but made it pressure free! Face, pits and bits is what we used to say 😂 worked well!

@Bobbie Wilson How long does it last?! I did that today even put Mr tumble on my phone to distract her, She was hysterically crying the whole time, snot everywhere! Was horrible. Did manage to wash the important bits as you say 🤣 Oh god even when she loved baths, hair washing was always traumatic for her 🙄🤣

@Taylor I honestly can't remember, I remember my daughter was longer but I think that's because we were figuring it out 😂 Oh hair wash has never been a hit and still isn't, we just push through that twice a week 😂 I did try Mr tumble and all the favourites as well 😂 I hope it passes soon!

@Bobbie Wilson I really hope it doesn't last long!🤣 blimey twice a week, she barely gets that because of how much she kicks off with it, especially now. Can't even get her in🤣 Thank you me too!!

@Taylor I won't lie, there's definitely been weeks where its just not happened 😂 you gotta pick those battles and sometimes it doesn't win 😂

Blow bubbles? I feel like that's my answer to everything atm 😂

@Bobbie Wilson oh god🤣😭 we never win atm, she's very much in the terrible 2 stage which is hell itself let alone this on top!

@C I'm not sure she would of been amused. Once she works herself up that much, there's no saving us 🤣
