baby hates baths/diaper changes

My baby almost always cries when I change or bathe him. I don't know if its because he's cold or if his skin is just too sensitive. He's 3 weeks old now so I'm wondering how much longer he's going to be like this. has anyone else had this problem and what did you do to help your baby stop crying?

Mason did that the first few tubby times...he eventually just grew out of it. Yours might too.

Most newborns do that. My daughter started enjoying her bath around 3-4 months. As for the diaper thing, I think she was about 6 months before she stopped hating it. It's different for every baby, but just know it's only temporary and he will stop crying from it eventually.

if his cord is off then get in the big bathtub with him. thats how i keep lylian happy in the bath

oh well at least it ends! I hate changing him because I feel like its hurting him or something... I guess he's just sensitive. he'll grow out of it though right

Mine is almost four weeks and does the same thing. I haven't figured anything out for the diaper but I find that if I keep sprinkling her with warm water with her washcloth then she kind of just stops crying and looks around.

I have the same problem! I'm hopeing she grows out of it.
Good Luck Hun

i always put a wet warm washcloth over my daughter's tummy while she's in the tub then evey so ofter i pour more warm water over it to keep it warm. She loves it

Sorry momma. Lucas has loved bath time and diaper changes from day one.

He bathes with me and we play with rubber ducks.
&he screams if his diaper is dirty, but the moment you start to undress him to change him he laughs hysterically.

Awesome Idea

My son is almost 8 months and still screams when it comes to bath time. For some reason he just doesn't like it =( Although now that he can sit up and play he is getting a bit better.
Diaper changes on the other hand he loves and laughs about and tries to take his own diaper off all the time, LOL.

my son would scream like someone was hurting him when we changed his diaper or gave a bath... it got to the poit h had to deal with the diaper but i only wiped him dow nwith a wash cloth ... n brought him in the shower with me he liked that but he grew out of it by like 2 mths
