  Do you have an over bath shower? Or an attachment for the taps? That might get him used to the water going over his head. Or if you have separate shower put him in with you. Then he can see you in there and it might make it more fun for him and less scared.

  Hi
  
  Cld you bath him in the morning when he wasnt as tired? ive found it alot easier bathing my 3 in the morning.
  
  Re screaming the house down, i had same problem but we went to toy shop and bought a special bath time toy and he wanted to play with it so much he got in without screaming
  
  failing that just keep reapeating to yourself 'its just a phase, its just a phase' its my mantra at the mo as twins are biting each other :-roll) x

  I know where you are coming from as although my lo doesn't scream in the bath, since we have gone from him having his bath in the baby bath to the big bath (he is a big boy and 14 months old), he will not sit down. I have all the toys under the sun (paddlers, suction things for the side of the bath so he has something to look at, dolphin which blows bubbles, ducks etc), and it is driving me mad as he used to love bathtime.
  
  Lately, I have taken one of his downstairs toys upstairs with me at bathtime for him to play with in the bath, and he is happier. Stacking cups are the favourite - we pour water out of them over his hands etc.
