We keep hoping it's something he will outgrow, but it results in tears almost every time.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-upset-when-you-wash-their-hair#post-2624107 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 10:49:36 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2624107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither boy has a problem with it. My oldest will let me pour water over his head anytime. We have to warn the 1-year old by counting, but he loves it too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-upset-when-you-wash-their-hair#post-2624100 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 10:44:51 +0000 snowjewelz 2624100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, she does! We have a device that prevents water from going down her face; we got it after she refused to wear the hat thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-upset-when-you-wash-their-hair#post-2623207 Sun, 18 Sep 2016 08:12:23 +0000 MrsSCB 2623207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: yay, I hope this happens for us! I love seeing happy babies in the bath :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-upset-when-you-wash-their-hair#post-2623187 Sun, 18 Sep 2016 06:03:56 +0000 hellobeeboston 2623187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son used to hate hate it but finally got used to it. It was a long annoying phase </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-upset-when-you-wash-their-hair#post-2623157 Sat, 17 Sep 2016 21:08:53 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2623157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Max doesn't care at ALL- his sister dumps buckets of water over him all the time and he doesn't flinch. Kennedy, on the other hand, will drag it out to the very last second. She used to scream, but now she just freaks out of any trace of water gets on her face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-upset-when-you-wash-their-hair#post-2623140 Sat, 17 Sep 2016 19:39:43 +0000 SweetiePie 2623140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: Mine also hated the bath until about 6-8 weeks (I can't remember) and then suddenly one day I was braced for the screams and he just didn't. We took so many pictures of it because it was the first time we enjoyed bathing him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-upset-when-you-wash-their-hair#post-2623137 Sat, 17 Sep 2016 19:35:22 +0000 delight 2623137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's always a struggle. She hates having her hair rinsed and also combed out. Bath time always evokes tears. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-upset-when-you-wash-their-hair#post-2623133 Sat, 17 Sep 2016 19:28:33 +0000 MrsSCB 2623133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He tends to cry throughout the bathing process....I've heard of babies loving the bath, but not my son! He's only a month old, though, so he's still in the wtf is happening state about life in general ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-upset-when-you-wash-their-hair#post-2623129 Sat, 17 Sep 2016 19:16:24 +0000 winter_wonder 2623129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this to help.</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Baby-Shower-Shampoo-Visor-Bath/dp/B002JH7NXO" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Baby-Shower-Shampoo-Visor-Bath/dp/B002JH7NXO</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-upset-when-you-wash-their-hair#post-2623017 Sat, 17 Sep 2016 07:02:56 +0000 SweetiePie 2623017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we just never made a big deal of it. Even when he was tiny, of course we didn't dump the water on his face, but we didn't shield it from some trickling. Once he was old enough to show excitement, we knew he LOVED it. We just dump water right on his head and it gushes over his face and he begs us to do it again. I do use my hand to try and push the soap back, but my husband doesn't and it doesn't seem to bother him.<br /> He also loves going under water in the pool.<br /> I've been told he's a weirdo on both accounts :silly:<br /> He just turned two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-upset-when-you-wash-their-hair#post-2623013 Sat, 17 Sep 2016 06:44:50 +0000 caterw 2623013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD just doesn't like to get the soap rinsed out... I keep trying to convince her to tip her head back so she doesn't get soap in her eyes but she thinks I am trying to drown her or something. I just dump the water on her while she tries to escape from me or wash her hair in the shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-upset-when-you-wash-their-hair#post-2622995 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 22:46:42 +0000 MrsB2012 2622995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at the moment, but that could change. It always has to be something... either having the hair washed or brushing teeth or just getting dressed hahah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-upset-when-you-wash-their-hair#post-2622943 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 19:37:20 +0000 erinbaderin 2622943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son used to hate it - he freaked out when any water got on his face or in his ears. In the past few days, though, he's figured out the trick of tipping his head back and it's made a big difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-upset-when-you-wash-their-hair#post-2622941 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 19:33:39 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2622941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 likes to cover her ears with stacking cups to keep the water out lol but otherwise doesn't make a fuss when I wash her hair. DD2 hates it and will hang her head over the side of the tub and I either have to force it back in or pour water all over the floor... </p>
