BATH NO NO NO BABIES
Some babies are frightened by bath time and often often a baby or a toddler may suddenly take against it. Give up baths altogether for a while just a wash in the needed areas will keep the baby clean. After two or three weeks try having a bath with him to help him overcome his fear. Playing with water can be fun for babies. So sit along your baby with a bowl of water and let him splash and play. Pouring beakers and floating toys can often persuade a child that water can be fun. Babies and young children often particularly dislike having their hair washed , even if they love bath time around two and a half to three years is often the most difficult time. If your child doesn't like it , abandon it altogether for a couple of weeks, Respect his dislike. but help him to be more reasonable to be about it: for example , go out together in the rain and show him how pleasurable the rain drops feel on the face. Reintroduce hair washing at bath time gradually. It may help him to give a face cloth to hold over his face and eyes. Often it is the feel of the water on their face that children hate most. If your child will wear one, you could try putting a plastic cap like designed for children to put around the hairline to keep the water off their face. Baby bath beds/ tubs are available in a number of models. For the babies who are saying no to bath the slant type bath beds are much suitable as the water will not come on to their face and as well they will enjoy bath. Never force the child to implement your idea. Try to make them understand. They will definitely.
