This past "bath day" I tried something new. I've tried all the other suggestions; water up to the chest, towel in the bottom of the sink, kitchen sink, bathtub, "sponge" bath....and on, and on.
Nothing worked. Gabe continued to scream bloody murder, pant, flail, and generally try to convince anyone within ear shot that he was being brutally tortured.
This time, I filled the tub with nice, warm water. Put in a little squirt of his soap. Then, I climbed in the tub with him, held him, petted him, and spoke very gently to him.
He still fussed, but not nearly as much. I think we may be onto something here!!!
