Fear of bathing

"Newborn babies sometimes don't like to bathe. Slightly older children may be afraid of bathing. It is, therefore, important that the newborn is introduced to bathing slowly, gently, as an opportunity to enjoy and relax. Play, let the water caress the baby's body, allow the baby to feel those light touches of water and the ripples that form as you slowly bubble the water around the baby. Offer a variety of games to relax, enjoy with your baby and encourage pleasant feelings. Always be careful and carefully monitor how your baby behaves and plays while bathing. "
