Teddie HATED baths...don't know if it was the running water being too loud in the bathtub, or sink, or what the issue was. I went and bought one of those baby sprayers that hooks up to the faucet and sprays like a handheld shower sprayer (baby section of store), and now he is ok with baths. He loves being squirted in the face and tries to catch the water. I also use a wascloth when I wash his face, he bites on it while I wash him...but there is no soap and I coo to him and talk softly and sweetly to him and he seems entranced by the soft voice. I'm hoping at some point to get him comfortable enough with the experience to actually use some shampoo so he is spic-n-span from precious little head to monkey toes.
