20 months old and suddenly hates bath time!

What do i do??? DS used to LOVE bath time. He actually used to run into the bathroom while I was prepping the tub and he'd try to jump in with his clothes still on! But for the past 2 weeks he screams and cries all through bath time. I just say the word "bath" and he starts screaming at me! DH says he doesnt like the water on his face when I wash the shampoo out of his hair but thats not anything new. Maybe now hes just voicing his opinion? How do i get him to like it again? Ive bought new bath toys and that didnt help.

DD went through a phase like this around 20 months I want to say. lasted about 2 weeks. now she loves her baths again. I have no clue what caused it but I am just happy it is over! Hopefully he will get over it soon too! just keep doing what you are doing and he will realize baths are non-negotiable.

DS did this for about a week or so (he to LOVES the bath & goes running when we say bath). We had NO IDEA what was going on. It was a quick phase, that just went away. I hope it's the same for you!!

Re: 20 months old and suddenly hates bath time!

We're right there too. He used to get so excited - now we have to beg and plead or bribe him and sometimes just throw him in kicking and screaming! I just don't know what to do anymore. If he does go in and enjoy it, he freaks when we take him out. We just can't win!!!!

I am hoping it's just a phase, but this has been going on for a while now for us - hope it ends sooner for you!!!
