What to do when newborn cries murder during shower

Hi Mummies, My 1 month old baby boy cries murder when we bathe him. I have tried sponge bath, normal bath, singing to him while bathing but nothing works. He literally screams every time I bathe him. Currently we bathe him in a bath tub on the floor as the tub is without stand and we use lukewarm water. Want to know the experience of other mums here on how to manage this kind of situation ? Would have a bath tub with stand be better? Looking for tips and advise 🙏 #firsttimemom

Hi mummy, make sure the water temp not too hot or cold for them. Some babies scare of bathing like my lo. U can try putting a small towel/handkerchief on his chest while bathing him to make him feel secure. Pat pat him & tell him it’s safe. That’s wat I do for both my boy & girl. Currently my 3mth old girl like bathing now 😊 hope it works for ur bb too.

For my lo about 1-2 week they get used to bathing already. Also try not to bath them when they are too hungry or sleepy. Usually I bath them at least half an hr before next feeding (becoz my lo easily spit out milk so have give some time to digest the previous milk first) so after bath I feed them & sleep.
