Babies generally feel great pleasure when they are submerged in the water while their mother bathes her, it is as if she remembers when she was inside her, submerged in the amniotic fluid.
It is possible that your child is not a water lover, when it is time for his bath he changes his mood or cries, so, a good solution for this situation to change is to bathe with him.
Maybe your baby has enjoyed bathing since the first few days, but you can change your mind, apparently for no reason, coming to show fear of the bathroom. The cause can be found that maybe one day the bath water was too hot or that when he saw the foam he felt fear, that he was scared to see how the bath was empty ... All these possible reasons are perhaps insignificant but, not for him. We should never underestimate the possible fears of the baby. If we wish that he does not feel these fears, nothing is easier than being close to him, that when you put him in the bathroom do it slowly and that you look him very much in the eyes, this will reassure him. Your words are very important to him, speaking softly reassures the baby a lot since your voice has always been a companion of him.
An extra resource is toys, they make your attention focused on them and not what scares you. A toy is always something to discover, to investigate and to have fun. Also bathing with him will gratify you.
