   What do you do if your child stops liking baths?
   
   What do you do if your child stops liking baths? My son (20 months) used to love taking his baths he would cry when he had to get out. Now he screams bloody murder when we try to give him a bath. Is this just a stage hes going through? I figured if he hated them he never would have liked them but I guess I was wrong. Any tips or advice is much welcome! Thanks.

   How about putting a lot of toys inside the tub?

   Kiddos tend to go through moods. Fickle little guys.. Just stick with it and try to make it fun. Eventually it becomes routine and it's on to the next thing they love...then hate!!

   Put some trunks on and get in the bathtub with him.  He will have a ball and so will you. It is just a stage they go through - like when they suddenly decide they don't like the carseat.

   Put your child in the shower with you.  Our children when they got to a certain age, preferred the shower to a bath.

   This is just a boy t will last for quite a while.  Let him take toys with him and use the water as part of his play.  My boys love to take legos into the bath, and if they have them, they are far more agreeable to hopping in.  Good luck.
