Ds is only 3 months, but for the last month he cries whenever we bathe him! (he enjoyed it before that) I've tried bathing him in his little tub, moving the little tub to a different room (worked for a few minutes -- able to get him clean and out before the crying turned angry), bathing him with me (this worked this morning for enough time to get him clean -- he started crying just at the end). This makes me so sad -- he use to love the bath, especially in there with me.

Any tips on how to make bath time more enjoyable for him will be greatly appreciated!

Keep trying the baby-in-the-tub-with-you method. Ultimately this is all that has worked with my son. He started to enjoy bathtime more and more and longer and longer. He also loves his rubber duck! Now, he doesn't cry in the tub, he cries when we take him out of the tub.(I am usually freezing by this point). HTH

Try nursing him in the tub. The breast may be just the distraction he needs to realize that the tub is great.

Also, what temp. is the water when you bathe him? I know that my babies think the recommended 98 degrees is waaaaay too cold. But it could also be too hot. Experiment with different temps.

Surely your little one will like baths again someday.
