Maintaining hygiene and bathing is an essential element of proper childcare, but not all children enjoy bathing. Parents ask themselves the question - how to bathe the baby and wash his head, giving him pleasure, not discomfort? In this article, we will tell you how to organize the bathing of a child so that he receives positive emotions from hygiene procedures.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not forget to wash your child's hair every day - this will teach him the regularity of this procedure, and will also give the growing baby's hair health and strength. You can wash your hair every day without shampoo, and use baby shampoo no more than twice a week.
Step 2
Choose a shampoo for your child carefully - it should be as harmless, natural, and suitable for the age category of your child.
Step 3
When starting to wash your child's hair, do not rush - do everything gradually. Tilt your baby's head back and support it with your hand to keep water out of your eyes, then spray water on your hair. Lather a small amount of the shampoo and apply it all over your hair.
Step 4
Already with shampoo, lightly massage the baby's head, directing movements from the forehead to the back of the head. To keep your child from getting bored and worried, keep bright rubber toys and balls in the bathtub that will entertain him.
Step 5
Often, children do not like to wash their hair, because the shampoo, getting into the eyes, stings them and gives the child discomfort. Buy only high-quality “no tears” shampoo, which, when it gets into the eyes, is almost invisible to the baby and does not cause irritation.
Step 6
Also, the shampoo should not dry out the hair and scalp of the child. Rinse off the shampoo thoroughly by pouring warm water on the baby's head and then pat dry the head with a towel. Dry your child's hair slightly and comb through with a soft brush with even rows of rounded teeth that will not injure the scalp.
