Guest guest Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 I'm afraid I am of the " get on with it " motherhood. I lay them down (not face down, I'm not that cruel!!!) even in a very small amount of water wet hair, shampoo and rinse. I use a small amount of water so that I can hold them with one hand and then wash with the other. So far 3 of them have survived this treatment when they haven't wanted their hair washed. I only wash once a week unless very necessary, and I am waiting for DS3 to go through his phase on passed experience it shouldn't be long as he is 14 months now.. Good luck.

" (DS1) used to hate having his teeth cleaned, and it used to take two of us to do it: one to hold and one to brush. I used to feel so guilty that i was torturing my child in this way... :-( Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 My two hate it too. However when DH does it, he is good at turning it into a game. eg. after the shampoo has been rubbed in he says " who wants to be a goat/cow/puppy? " and duly arranges the hair to stick up in an appropriate manner. Makes the other one laugh and they have fun (until rinsing of course but that is over quite quickly!) phine (Mum to 3 & Ben 2, Cambridge NCT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
