Advice much appreciated. DD used to love baths but now hates them, and is totally terrified. Just turning on the taps is enough for her to run away crying. Shower is equally bad. She has lots of bath toys, and we've tried getting into the bath with her, but to no avail. We've been keeping her clean with sponge baths, but she has quite long hair and it really needs a wash. Maybe we should just get on with it, but it feels awful subjecting her to something she's genuinely scared of.
