Kendall & Savanna are about 19 months old right now and they have always loved to take baths. What toddler doesn't, right?

All of a sudden in the last couple of weeks Savanna has been freaking out when I put her in the tub. She cries and wants me to get her out seconds after I put her in. When I do pull her out she hugs me so tight! I have tried introducing new toys and doing bubble baths...less water....more water...nothing helps.

I cannot think of anything that would have happened to cause this! Kendall is completely unaffected...I can't get her OUT of the tub! Even though I do have a rotation of grandmas & different people babysitting no one can think of anything that might be the reason for this.

Any ideas?

Emma had a bath every night since she was 2 months and about 18 monthsshe started to freak out as well. I would offer her a bath if she freaked and didn't want to get in we didn't take a bath that night and I tried again the next. The longest she went was 3 days without a bath so she didn't get to dirty and then she was back in the tub. I wouldn't make an issue out of it because if you do you will end in a power struggle with both you not happy.
