He loves the shower, he doesn't even seem to mind water on his head or eyes. We never even got a baby bathtub because I didn't see the point! Then when we get out, I wrap him in a towel and lay him on our bed while I quickly get dressed, then I dress him. It works for us :) sorrycharlie on "How often do you use shampoo on your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-use-shampoo-on-your-lo#post-122639 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 19:24:16 +0000 sorrycharlie 122639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @miss-spunkin: my cousin swore by this with her baby! do you shower to get him used to it? or do you wash up yourself one-handed too? lol (sorry if that's too personal!) just totally confused by it! lemondrop on "How often do you use shampoo on your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-use-shampoo-on-your-lo#post-122629 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 19:07:41 +0000 lemondrop 122629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @obxwife: I just rinsed his head and waited for it to pass. My pediatrician said baby oil would make it look better, but it was really just a wait for it to pass thing. @Clementine: I dunno, he might be even yummier if I use olive oil- I may not be able to resist nibbling on him ;) Mrs. Pen on "How often do you use shampoo on your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-use-shampoo-on-your-lo#post-122308 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 12:53:39 +0000 Mrs. Pen 122308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO is 7.5 weeks and we shampoo 1-2x a week.

I was told (just by my sis) that I should shampoo him every day to get rid of it. I'm hesitant to do so!

The bath is always super short (less than 5 min) because his skin can get pretty dry, especially in the winter. chopsuey on "How often do you use shampoo on your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-use-shampoo-on-your-lo#post-104295 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:44:45 +0000 chopsuey 104295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Until LO turned 11 months, we only shampoo'd her hair once a week and would just wash her body with water. We used soap on her butt though. :) Now that she's 1 and gets super dirty after every meal I have to use shampoo on her daily. kokobee on "How often do you use shampoo on your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-use-shampoo-on-your-lo#post-104268 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:26:02 +0000 kokobee 104268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ mostly every day only because LO has so much head funk, lol! lemondrop on "How often do you use shampoo on your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-use-shampoo-on-your-lo#post-104254 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:11:30 +0000 lemondrop 104254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Cam is almost 3 months, I stopped using shampoo on his head since he got cradle cap every single time. It helps that he has almost no hair and doesn't get very dirty right now. He gets a bath or shower every few days and I use the baby wash on his body.

I might skip it today, actually, just because she's so cranky. Sometimes it's a pain but I worry if not doing it will mess up LO's expectation! LOL.

But we do wash her hands and her butt with body wash/shampoo every day. Charlie gets way dirtier, so we shampoo him every 2-3 days depending on whether or not he sweats, and we use body wash on him every day (he has such big stinky poops!). How often do you shampoo your LO and how old are they?
