DD was exactly the same, even down to the screaming when I was in the shower. We just kept trying, holding her to start with and letting her play with the water and eventually she came round to the idea, and now she loves it.]]> Fri, 17 Dec 2010 22:51:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1222990&title=hates-showers#1222990 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1221912&title=hates-showers#1221912 Author: tibby

We have put DS in the shower every night instead of a bath. He is getting a bit better each day.

The toys in the shower and filling his little boats up with the shower water seems to be helping.

Fingers crossed]]> Thu, 16 Dec 2010 18:01:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1221912&title=hates-showers#1221912 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1221274&title=hates-showers#1221274 Author: HuMum

DS has only ever showered as we don't have a bath.

I find he enjoys it much more with toys especially filling cups up from the shower, and we put a large flannel over the hole so it fills up like a bath so he can have a splash. Oh and bubble bath in the bottom will distract him from the water too.

In saying that he still remembers last time we went to nanas as he had a bath. They way he talks about it, I think the bath was more fun than his shower!! ]]> Wed, 15 Dec 2010 20:26:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1221274&title=hates-showers#1221274 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1220035&title=hates-showers#1220035 Author: _SMS_

My DD was like that too. I put her bath toys in the shower and put a bath mat down.
At first i turned the head away so she was only getting a bit wet. It took maybe 3 goes before she started loving it.]]> Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:07:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1220035&title=hates-showers#1220035 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1219791&title=hates-showers#1219791 Author: rachelsea

My DD (21months) hates showers too, even if we're holding her she screams the entire time so we just do a quick rinse of her bum and let her run away. She doesn't get scared of me being in the shower though, just hates being in there herself. Hope your DS comes around soon!]]> Tue, 14 Dec 2010 07:57:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1219791&title=hates-showers#1219791 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1219277&title=hates-showers#1219277 Author: tibby

Thanks guys. We have a seperate shower cubicle but unfortunately the head is fixed to the wall.
I might see if l can get one to put on the bath tap as l think that sounds like a good idea.]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 14:00:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1219277&title=hates-showers#1219277 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1219251&title=hates-showers#1219251 Author: crafty1

yes as the others have said my boy only likes it if he is holding the shower head. We took a little 3 ring blow up pool away last year to use as a bath. All the cousins had heaps of fun it in. ]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 13:39:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1219251&title=hates-showers#1219251 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1219227&title=hates-showers#1219227 Author: HoneybunsMa

DD loves the shower but we have showered with her from week 1. Try having a shower with him, or DH doing it hold him up and make a game of the water on his tummy and back making sure you keep the water off his face. DD still doesn't really like that. Is the shower over the bath? Turn the shower on to fill the bath perhaps and sit him in it if he will.]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 13:17:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1219227&title=hates-showers#1219227 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1218931&title=hates-showers#1218931 Author: Flutterby

DS didn't like it much either but lately we have just been standing him in it and letting him hold the shower head and just play with it. He still doesn't partically like the water on his face but he is getting used to it.]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 08:26:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1218931&title=hates-showers#1218931 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1218906&title=hates-showers#1218906 Author: SpecialK

Tibby, H is not so sure about the shower either - we sit him in the bath and then just hose him down (we have a shower head that we can move) But he won't stand under the shower. ]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 07:52:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1218906&title=hates-showers#1218906 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1218848&title=hates-showers#1218848 Author: Bizzy

my kids hated the shower unless i was holding them. i think it can be quite scary sitting on the bottom with all that water coming down on you.]]> Sun, 12 Dec 2010 22:40:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1218848&title=hates-showers#1218848 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1218790&title=hates-showers#1218790 Author: cuppatea

You could try getting one of those cheap shower attachment things that fit over taps and get him used to the shower sensation in the bath first?

Maybe try playing in the shower cubicle as well without the shower going so he gets happy with that bit and then work up to showering?]]> Sun, 12 Dec 2010 21:11:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1218790&title=hates-showers#1218790 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1218772&title=hates-showers#1218772 Author: tibby

Hi. My 19 mth old has had a bath with his dad every day pretty much since birth. Loves the bath and happily splashes.

He has always cried when l am in the shower and really seems scared.

I have been gently coaxing him in for the last few weeeks and a couple of times he has come in he has actually enjoyed it. Mostly he wont get in or cries when he is in there. Bizarrely when l say do you want a shower he says yes and runs excitedly to the bathroom but backs out at the last minute.

We go away a bit over summer and it would be so much easier if he would shower.

Any ideas on how to overcome this would be greatly appreciated!]]> Sun, 12 Dec 2010 20:58:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37084&PID=1218772&title=hates-showers#1218772
