Wash Your
Baby's Hair
Delicate little fingers and toes, soft little face; how do I wash you and keep everything in place?
Instructions
1. Consult your doctor or midwife about grooming products. Your doctor or midwife has had a lot of experience with little ones and will be able to advise you, or possibly give you a few samples.
2. Ask the hospital or birthing center to give you a demonstration on wash your child's hair.
3. Start off with sponge bathing. Newborns don't need to be lathered up to get clean, and their skin isn't tough enough for it anyway. Wet a washcloth with warm water and gently rub your infant's hair until it is sufficiently clean. Be gentle, but don't avoid the soft spots; they are protected with a thick membrane.
4. Use mild tear-free shampoos on older infants. If you are using a reclined baby tub, simply wet your baby's hair and lather it up with a small amount of shampoo. Rinse the lather out thoroughly until none appears with gentle rubbing. To avoid drying out your baby's scalp, you will only need to shampoo two to three times a week.
5. Cradle your child's head in your hand if you are bathing in a big tub. Lather and rinse with one hand, while firmly supporting your child with the other.
