Question : Hello Doc,
My daughter will be 3 months old next week. From past few days she cries a lot during bath. As soon as we lie her on bather she starts crying, it is more of screaming. Before that she was enjoying the bath. I am not sure why there is a change in this behavior. Is it normal with the kids as they grows? Or is it a matter of concern?

Regards,
XXXX

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

The more they age the more they get conscious about the surroundings.

It is absolutely normal for a 3 months baby to respond this way.

Anyway make sure there are no rashes on the back of in the folds.

Need not worry, this may not last long.

Regards,
