Do not worry. Bleach in the bathwater is actually one method of treating severe eczema and in that case 1/2 cup in a full tub is sued for a prolonged bath follow by sealing in the moisture. It is process called “bleach bath and dose and seal” developed by allergy experts to address moderate to severe eczema persisting because of staph on the skin. Your two year old is not likely fussy from the water, it may be something else.
