Whenever I give my baby ( 21 months) a bath she screams. She gives me a very hard time just even trying to make her sit down. We try toys.... Nothing works. What can I do?

Let her stand in the bath while you hose her down fast.

Nothing. Bathe her less often.

It will pass.

Yes, this. This is a very common phase that toddlers around this age go through. All of my kids got over it pretty fast once I put on a bathing suit and joined them in the bath.

2 things that I've done that worked:
1- bath crayons
2- put on a bathing suit and sit with her in the bath

When I bought a bath mat my baby stopped being so scared/upset. The plastic kind with suction cups at the bottom. If there's a chance she feels like it's too slippery, that might help.
