Did your toddler go from loving shower/bath time to hating it?

- ours is 2 yrs old.


- used to love to head for the bathroom for a shower, then all of a sudden a month before turning 2 he started hating it.


- sometimes screams his head off when forced to shower or bathe.Did your toddler go from loving shower/bath time to hating it?
this is normal, most toddlers go through this stage





what we did %26amp; it worked, was buy cans of spray soap at dollar stores. They come in different colors, easy clean-up and it made bath/shower time fun!Did your toddler go from loving shower/bath time to hating it?
change the time of day you are bathing him. he will associate it with something he really don't like doing (going to bed).


reward new bath toy if he gets in with no fuss.





just a thought::: has anyone else bathed him without you in the last 2 months? (babysitter, friend, whoever) you hate to say something like this, but something might have happened to him in there that he didn't like. it could be as simple as going under water on accident or something much worse. just stay in there with him and make sure you listen carefully when he talks to you.
That's actually really common because they suddenly associate baths with bed time if that's when they bathe.
actually my son still loves bathtime thank god hopefully when he is 2 he will too
