How to wash your baby's hair

Babies need careful care from their parents. Their abilities are very limited and they cannot live independently, so mothers and fathers need to give them more care. Washing the baby's hair is a difficult problem that bothers many parents. Many babies are always careless when washing their hair, and even don't want their mothers to touch their heads. But for the baby's hygiene, we have to do this. So, how should we wash our baby's hair correctly?

Tip 1: Correct posture is very important!

When washing your baby's hair, it is best to let the baby lie on your legs. Sitting is a good posture for washing your baby's hair. During the washing process, the closer you are to your baby, the safer the baby will feel. When washing the baby's hair, do not hang the baby's head too upside down, just tilt it slightly. You can rest your baby's head on one of your hands, with his back resting on your forearm and his legs tucked under your elbow. With your other hand, make a ring and gently pour the bath water over your baby's head.

Reminder: At this time, many sisters like to use shampoo for their babies, but some ingredients in shampoo will affect the baby's skin. It is recommended to reduce the use of shampoo for babies aged 0-1 and wipe them with warm water towel every day.

Strategy 2: Language communication is essential when washing your hair

It is normal for babies to cry when washing their hair. If you just coax and force them, it will only make you exhausted! It is better to sing a song for her, tell her a story, talk to her, and chat with her when washing her hair. This can successfully distract her attention and promote parent-child relationship. Why not do it! I recommend two simple and easy games to sisters. Playing with your baby while washing your hair is also super effective!

Game ①: Hide and Seek in the Towel

This requires the cooperation of the father! The father can wash the baby's hair, while the mother covers her face with a towel and plays hide-and-seek with the baby with an exaggerated expression. After washing the hair, let the baby hide in the towel and the mother can dry the baby's hair at the same time. It’s really killing two birds with one stone!

Game 2: SpongeBob Piss Bubbles

Take a sponge and put it into the baby's bath water, tell him that SpongeBob is drinking water now, then put the sponge soaked with water on the baby's head, gently squeeze it and tell him that SpongeBob is now peeing bubbles. The baby is having a lot of fun and the mother has achieved the purpose of washing his hair.

Strategy 3: Use swimming goggles to wash your hair

Aren’t you afraid that water will get into your baby’s eyes when washing his hair? To eliminate your worries, you can find your baby’s swimming goggles and put them on him. Of course, there are also glasses on the market that are specially designed for baby's hair washing. They are cute in shape and come with earplugs. Sisters might as well buy a pair and give it a try.
