But right now, at 15 mos, I still use the infant sling to wash their faces and hair, rinse with clean water and then sit them up upright. I may try doing what @littlecasita1122: suggested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-time-advice-needed#post-910422 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 21:36:51 +0000 brownie 910422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm mean mommy. I let it get in his eyes. But we have practiced putting his head back and floating on his back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-time-advice-needed#post-910419 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 21:33:24 +0000 dolphin 910419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just cover her forehead and eyes with my hands. Some water gets in her eyes but not a lot. She doesn't seem to be too bothered by it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-time-advice-needed#post-910393 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 21:17:37 +0000 birdofafeather 910393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, we just let it go in her eyes so she's used to it now. Sorry I don't have any other advice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-time-advice-needed#post-910158 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 19:03:13 +0000 littlecasita1122 910158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is something my LO has learned from his swim lessons - his instructor would count "1, 2, 3" very energetically and pour a very small amount of water over his head without covering his face. Then exclaim "yay!" with lots of positive reinforcement. Then each week after she would pour more and more water over until he was completely used to it and doesn't mind it being in his eyes. She recommended we use the counting method before pouring during bath time and it definitely helped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-time-advice-needed#post-909692 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 11:33:14 +0000 MaisyMay 909692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about one of those plastic things you hold in front of her face to keep the soap and water off?</p> <p>Like this: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001B1FHIC" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001B1FHIC</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-time-advice-needed#post-909512 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 09:52:53 +0000 sorrycharlie 909512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah we are having this same problem!!! I fold a facecloth and hold it on her forehead, and kinda scoop the facecloth up to absorb most of the water. As many times as it takes to rinse most of it out lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-time-advice-needed#post-909510 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 09:50:53 +0000 skibobrown 909510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is 15 months old, and we're struggling with this still! No advice here, but good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bath-time-advice-needed#post-909503 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 09:42:24 +0000 autumn865 909503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 10 month old loves the bath and playing in it.! But it is slowly going downhill as she doesn't understand leaning back when we wash her hair. She hunches over and squirms about with the end result of water ending up in her face and a crying little girl :( Hiw did you teach your LO to lean back so she doesn't get a face full of water? </p>
