Bath time

I get in with my son. He is 3 months old as well. Sometimes I nurse him in there too if he’s upset. It’s turned bath time into a soothing and special activity as opposed to something stressful. I haven’t figured out how to keep him from crying when we get out though… lol

We put a wet warm washcloth on ours' belly while we're giving her a bath so shes warm and I think the extra weight helps her feel secure. I also leave her hair towards the end

I wrap my baby in a swaddling blanket for the bath and keep pouring warm water over her. I uncover and wash each area at a time so she stays warm in the wet blanket. I didn't do that for her first bath and it was awful with screaming and crying. Since doing that, she loves bath time.

Try heating up the room as well maybe. I have a mini heater in the bathroom that I set to 74. Also I put the baby bath on a table rather than in the bathtub. Good luck 💞

@Kelli THIS!!!

After I changed a few things up, such as putting down a swaddle or a bath towel onto where I give her a bath, you know the little angel holder cradle, and then let that get wet slowly put them on that and then as of recently my lo decided that she likes me being in the bath with her so I’ve done that as well and it actually does help a little bit because then I’m not trying to keep my clothes dry or I’m not killing my back as much leaning over the bathtub and I’ve tried made the water. It’s just fun to play with you. I was just bouncing my little hand off of it or little foot

I put some cloth on him too, also I added the pacifier to get him calm if he is too mad… Another thing is that we do it as soon as he wakes up.. I figured that if I waited until is close to his nap time he wouldn’t enjoy it

We bought an “Otteroo” and now bath time is literally her favorite time of day!

Mine went from hating them to loving them in the last month once I got the temp just right by setting it using the inside of my wrist. I keep private parts covered with a second washcloth. I also have a bottle that squirts like a shower that he enjoys. I also make sure to talk to him the entire time in the happiest voice I can manage. He now cries when we get out 🙃 but I've been leaving him to air dry some in his towel so he can be diaper free and that's been making him a bit happier until he gets cold.

We turn on the heater and light a sleep time candle 10minutes before bath time. I also turn the lights off and cover him with the small towel and gentle pour warm water on him. It relaxes him and prepares him for sleep time.

@Layla We do the same! I found out the easiest way to prevent too much crying right after is handing off baby to her dad. He holds a towel open and I place her in his arms, then I fold the towel over her. He will have a bottle or paci ready, if she needs it. And he will put a diaper on her first thing. After that he keeps her wrapped in the towel so she stays warm and once I get out and done from my shower I’ll dress her and nurse. Works well for us! Update: she no longer cries when we get her out of the shower 👌

I get in the tub with mine, I lay a swaddle blanket on my lap and let him lay on it and splash a bit before washing him. I also take a cup or bowl and slowly pour water over his belly to get him acclimated to it all. I normally don't have problems because he loves baths but when he's a little more fussy I nurse him.

hmm, maybe try singing or playing some fun music during bath time to distract her a bit? Just looked it up on the 'Heal Baby Care App' and here's what it says: "It's common for little ones to be upset during bath time, especially at such a young age. Here are two suggestions to help your baby feel more comfortable: 1. Start with sponge baths: Until she gets used to the sensation of water, you can give her sponge baths using a damp washcloth to clean her. This can help her gradually acclimate to bath time without overwhelming her. 2. Use a gentle approach: Try to keep the atmosphere calm by speaking softly and using a soothing tone. You can also play soft music or sing to her during the bath to create a more relaxing environment.
