Washing baby's hair |

Our little son loves water and the bath, however he doesn't particularly like shampoo running into his eyes.
To keep him entertained whilst bathing I make sure he has toys in the bath (toys like floating rubber duckies, and water proof books etc). I also make sure a bathing mat
is in the bath... this way if he gets a little excited and moves quickly he doesnt fall over and hurt himself.
So when it comes time to wash his hair I like to use a plastic toy small watering can. They are very easy to fill with water and easy to control the water flow. This way you can pour water on your baby's hair with one hand and protect the front of his head with the other hand to stop any water falling down his face and in to his eyes.
UPDATED: 31st May 2006Our son is now 21 months old. He still is a little concerned with getting shampoo in his eyes. I have found that there are better brands than others. We use a non soap shampoo. To keep him entertained in his bath now we have alphabet letters that when wet stick to the sides of the bath. Its great fun holding one up and asking him "what's this?"... him saying "R" (or what ever letter I am holding up at the time.. sometimes trying to convince me that an "M" is an "S"... but that's another story), and then sticking the "R" to the side of the bath. He loves it so much that he doesn't mind his hair being wasked while he is occupied.
