Help with bath time!
So my daughter is 12 weeks now. I've been giving her a bath every night for the past 5 weeks until recently. She used to love the bath and now she screams and cries! Idk what has changed? I've tried changing temps, playing with toys, singing, getting in with her. I feel so bad and hope it's a phase. Bath time is suppose to be fun? Any suggestions or other moms with this problem?

Lavender oil. I put just a little in her bath water and it calms my lo so much and then right to sleep after without a fuss. Didn't find it at any stores... Only Amazon.

If you have a whole foods they have great oils there

My newborn never liked bath time. He only started liking it when he could sit up on his own and play. Maybe your baby just has more awareness of her surroundings and has decided baths aren't fun.
I only bathed my son once a week though since he didn't get that dirty and I didn't want to irritate his skin.

Hmmm , yea I would bathe baby like every other night. Also be careful with lavender things - that can be irritating to their skin as well.

Agree with previous posts. Every night might be too much for a baby that age. My son is 6 months and I only bath him maybe 3 times a week

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I'm happy to report that Alexandra likes her baths again! One night she just stopped and now she splashes and smiles.☺️
