have you tried splitting the feed? so bubs isn't hungry getting in the bath and there is the soothing if necc after. We had to start doing that as bubs would protest afterwards too because he was hungry! Also if its really close to bed time a bath can actually tire them out so maybe its pushing him past the limit? just a thought!]]> Tue, 18 Jan 2011 21:12:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37517&PID=1244286&title=2-month-old-and-bath-time#1244286 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37517&PID=1244185&title=2-month-old-and-bath-time#1244185 Author: luckystar

My babies have both hated getting out of the bath too. I think its cos they're reminded of being all warm, wet and safe in utero. Then all the cold air touching their skin is just a god-awful shock to the system!]]> Tue, 18 Jan 2011 20:22:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37517&PID=1244185&title=2-month-old-and-bath-time#1244185 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37517&PID=1242983&title=2-month-old-and-bath-time#1242983 Author: mrsbt

I was feeding him before but with the screaming decided to wait a bit after a feed before bathing him in case it was that. I just put him straight on the boob still wrapped in his towel tonight and he calmed so maybe it is just not liking being out.
I might try the morning bath, but my husband loves to give him a bath and he goes early so we shall see. don't want to take away his precious time with his son! ]]> Mon, 17 Jan 2011 21:40:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37517&PID=1242983&title=2-month-old-and-bath-time#1242983 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37517&PID=1242932&title=2-month-old-and-bath-time#1242932 Author: busymum

My babies used to get really tired from being in the bath, so they would emerge cold, tired and hungry. I started bathing them in the morning soon after they had woken instead of towards the end of the day.]]> Mon, 17 Jan 2011 21:07:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37517&PID=1242932&title=2-month-old-and-bath-time#1242932 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37517&PID=1242867&title=2-month-old-and-bath-time#1242867 Author: JadeC

My DS would always scream after the bath when we tried to dress him, I always thought he was cold! It stopped eventually, if that helps!]]> Mon, 17 Jan 2011 20:23:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37517&PID=1242867&title=2-month-old-and-bath-time#1242867 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37517&PID=1242865&title=2-month-old-and-bath-time#1242865 Author: HuntersMama

Could the warm water be soothing his tummy so when you take him out he gets irritated?

DS also LOVES water - the bath, shower, paddling pool and water trough and always has. He gets pretty grumpy when he take him out and need to distract him.]]> Mon, 17 Jan 2011 20:23:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37517&PID=1242865&title=2-month-old-and-bath-time#1242865 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37517&PID=1242862&title=2-month-old-and-bath-time#1242862 Author: HippyMama

Have you tried feeding him before his bath instead?

My DD2 screamed the house down whenever we tried to wash her until 12mo when everything suddenly got better, so I can sympathise!]]> Mon, 17 Jan 2011 20:21:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37517&PID=1242862&title=2-month-old-and-bath-time#1242862 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37517&PID=1242826&title=2-month-old-and-bath-time#1242826 Author: mrsbt

My baby loves the bath and kicks away with great pleasure when he is in the water. however following the bath (or shower) he cries and cries and cries like in his in great pain. His stomach goes all hard and he is nearly inconsolable for a good 30 minutes.
Tonight I put him on the boob and he calmed and drank and was fine...

Is he expressing his displeasure at being taken out of the bath or could he be having some bad tummy ache somehow linked to the water???
I'm not too worried about it, just rather surprised that one so young can already be telling me rather loudly that he wants to stay in the bath!!!

I think he is rather a big time water baby!]]> Mon, 17 Jan 2011 20:00:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37517&PID=1242826&title=2-month-old-and-bath-time#1242826
