Any toddler out there scared of washing hair now?

Question

My baby used to LOVE water and doesn’t mind water in her eyes or face at all but all of the sudden lately she’s afraid of water/ safe tear free body wash getting into her eyes/face and she is “all done” with bath right after I pour water on her head 😞 I tried to use the hair wash visor but she’s terrified of it too... anyone experience and how to solve the fear?

Answer

the other day I was testing this tear free and it burned not as much as adult shampoo but it still did lol. my son has always hated washing his hair. I noticed if I have him do it himself he sorta let's me and then he pours the water over his heAd to rinse it off.

Answer

yes

Answer

My baby regularly cries at the sight of having a bath - like blood curdling crying. To the extent where we've had to cancel bath time. It just seems so crazy..I've even tried getting her to wash me or to get into the bath with her but it doesn't work! It's the same for changing nappies or putting on clothes. But bath time is the worst. When does this phase end ?

Answer

My son has gone through this "phase" twice now. Both times, he was terrified for a few weeks and then all of the sudden, he was happy as a clam in the bath again.

Answer

She doesn't care for it very much at all lol. I started to let her "wash" my hair with the cup and that helped when it was time for me to wash her hair

Answer

Yes!! We now have her lay back with her head half way into the tub and we hold her head/neck and then I use my hand to pour water over her hair... sit up to shampoo, then back down to rinse. She screamed and cried the first couple times but now she trusts me and knows she won’t get water in her eyes so no more crying.

Answer

We have the cup that supposed to block water getting in their face but they freak out anyways. I lwt them play and soak for a bit, lather their hair, wash their bodies. Rinsing hair is the last thing I do cause I know they'll demand to get out. I double let bathe so laying them down to rinse gets a bit complicated, space wise.
