Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I keep thinking of new questions. My baby's head gets so sweaty with her helmet, so we are giving her a bath almost every night. Is that what others have done? Isn't bathing a baby everyday going to be drying to her skin, or is it more important to keep her head washed? I want to do what is best for her. Any suggestions? Stock up on lotion? , mom to Lilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 We've been bathing our little girl's head each night or even more often if she needs it. We've just used a " hydrating " baby shampoo and cool-ish water and it doesn't seem to be drying her scalp. Then we do a real bath about every third day (our normal schedule). Good luck! ~ dd 7mo.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I used to wash my daughter's hair every morning first thing when she got up. I held her in the football hold over the bathroom sink. Then I cleaned the band with alcohol and left it off while it dried for the hour they recommended. The days she had baths I washed her hair in the tub like normal.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Hi , we bathe my daughter most nights and she hasn't dried out yet :-) We always shampoo her head, but don't always use soap on her body. before the helmet we only bathed her twice a week, but that was also before it was really hot here (san francisco bay area) sometimes if we want to speed things up my husband holds her over the kitchen sink and I use the hose to wash her hair. this is easy since she loves water of any kind. I don't know if all kids would like this. -christine mom to sydney/6 mo today! /brachy / STARband 5-31-06 > > I keep thinking of new questions.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 On days we don't bathe Jerry, I lay him down on the kitchen counter while supporting his head with my hand over the sink, and I shampoo his head. I've just been using 's baby wash and haven't noticed any problems. He doesn't particularly like this procedure but it works to keep his head clean!

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 We give our son a bath every night during the 1 hour that he has his band off. It helps prevent the stinky smell that develops. We haven't had any problems with dry skin. Molly California Nicolas, 8.5 months, tort & plagio, STARband 4/25/06 , 3 , 6.5 Bathing schedule I keep thinking of new questions.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I give my twins a bath everyday, their skin seems to be handling it well, I just keep the bath very short and the slather on the lotion while they are still partly wet.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 We wash Chase every night and we've been doing that long before he got his STARband. He had very bad atopic eczema and contact dermatitis (so bad we were at a dermatolgist at 5 months). She's the one who recommended daily bathing. His dry skin has not gotten worse - in fact, just the opposite. We use Aquaphor instead of lotion. It's pretty greasy, but it's great for his skin. Hope this helps!lillybeans820 <lillybeans820@...> wrote: I keep thinking of new questions. My baby's head gets so sweaty with her helmet, so we are giving her a bath almost every night.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I usually clean the helmet and bath her during that hour break. I works great.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I'm bathing Luli everyday - some times 2x's a day - I don't soap up her body everytime though. I just SCRUB her head and let the shampoo sit for a while to really clean that smell away. Jen Mommy to 4...and 1 more!!!! LULI'S HERE!
