Water's getting into my eyes! Stop, Papa, stop! Waaaaa!
Now THIS is a better way of getting clean
Jo Ern gets a bath from hubby in the mornings and a refresher sponging from our maid Lina in the evenings. Since the baby bath-tub was returned for my sister's new baby, hubby has been using the shower. Actually Jo Ern does NOT like any of these methods much.
1. With bath-tub: OK when being soaped, cry when being rinsed. Probably didn't like water getting into her eyes.
2. With shower: Grab onto Papa's legs and wail pitifully. Probably scared of water in her eyes again.
3. Sponge bath: Cry at being restrained to one place, want to go and play instead
Poor kiddo, heh. She does seem to be adapting to the shower. She still clings on to hubby's legs, but he pats her head down before the rinsing part so there will be less water on her face.
(Ahem... notice that I am not involved in cleaning her? Heheh. I will also look for hubby or Lina to change diapers too! Well my excuse is I'm already in charge of Jo Ern's food preparation, all supplies planning/purchasing and basically overall supervision. Division of duties mah... heheh)
my girl loves to shower instead of having a bath now and refuses to sit in her tub! Does Jo Ern go swimming? Maybe it will help her to get used to water in her eyes..
ReplyDeleteP had this fear of water for 1 month..ie since he was born. The confinement lady was clueless as to why he cried during bath time. After the lady left, I took the liberty to talk to P before bath time..telling him exactly what will happen...and amazing after 1 week i took over, no tears at bath time.. strange but work for me
ReplyDeletekeira went thru that stage too, crying in the bath for no reason, and till now still don't like water in her eyes. try giving her water toys to play with in the bath?
