My son is almost 3 and use to love showers but just in the last 3 weeks he refuses to have a shower or bath!
He normally showers with me or dad but I'm pregnant and not a lot of room left.
If I manage to get him in the bath he won't sit, I'm struggling to get him in the shower with me or on his own!
It's got to the point where I have to sponge him over or bribe him but even then he only stays in enough to wash his hair and wants to get out!
He use to love showers or baths so I don't know what's gone wrong. Is it just a fase? What can't i do?

A lot of kids can play up when ur pregnant they sense things are going to change. I would take him out to red dot or the $2 shop and buy some new bath toys get him really excited about them and then that night tell him let's try out the new bath toys get him really excited about it, once his had one bath and realises it's ok he should be right. Hopefully the new bath toys distract him enough to have him sit in the bath for longer than5 secs
I've had this with my 2 year old. I try to make it seem like it's his idea and I make bath paint. He absolutely loves it now! Just get some shampoo or bubble bath a bit of corn flour and water to get a good consistancy and mix it up. Put into a muffin tray and a few drops of food colouring, they can paint the bath tiles and them selves. It washes off leaves no stains and cleans them at the same time! Lots of fun!
