L is 10 months old, and I'm still putting her in a football hold to wash her hair. I tried washing her hair while she was sitting up in the bathtub, but she totally flipped out when the water hit her face. I'd like to stop holding her to wash her hair, but don't know how to transition without her freaking out. Any suggestions?

I'm mean..I just use a cup and dump it on he head. She hated it at first but now she's used to it and doesn't mind. I still hate having water on my face and dont want her to be like that so I just kept doing it even when she cried. Only took a couple weeks and she was fine.

I have a little soft plastic pitcher I use, and also just squeeze water from a wash cloth over her head. I HATE water on my face when I bathe so I always dab her face dry with a washcloth while she bathes if she gets a lot of water on her face. I just put one hand on her forehead and pour water with the other hand so less water goes onto her face. We do hair washing as the first bath item, and then conditioner and she seems used to holding mostly still for the hair washing and rinsing and then goes to town with playing with her bath toys after that.
