Bath time

Hi! My baby is almost 8 months. We usually give her a bath 1-2 times a week and she loved it at first. All of a sudden the past 3 times she has screamed immediately once I put her in the tub and she is crying and attempting to get out. She started crawling around this time and pulling herself to stand up. We haven’t changed her bath time routine and added new toys. Has anyone else gone through this? Any suggestions?

Is the water too hot or cold?

It’s the same temperature usually

I think just be patient! They’re becoming so aware of things at this age. Play fun baby music to lighten the mood 🤍

My baby started doing this as well So I bought him some new toys and I let him play with them in his playpen first so he could get familiar with them ( I put them in a glass container with water) so the next time I bathed him I pointed out his toys and he got so excited

Are you using a baby bathtub? Did you transition her to just the regular bathtub? Maybe she just wants more freedom? Or is going through a clingy stage?

Mine did this for a while. We switched to using just the regular tub and let him play in it without water a couple of times. Then we added just a bit of water for one bath and slowly increased the depth each bath time. You could try showers for a while too.
