To use head to toe wash, simply wet your baby's hair and body with warm water, apply the wash with your hand or a washcloth, gently lather, and rinse thoroughly.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Steps for Using Head to Toe Wash
- Prepare: Gather your head to toe wash, a soft washcloth or your hands, and warm water. Make sure the water temperature is comfortable for your baby (or yourself).
- Wet Hair and Body: Gently wet your baby's (or your) hair and body with the warm water. This helps to loosen any dirt or oil.
- Apply the Wash: Dispense a small amount of head to toe wash onto your hand or a damp washcloth. A little usually goes a long way.
- Lather Gently: Gently massage the wash onto the hair and body, creating a soft lather. Avoid getting the wash directly into the eyes.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Carefully rinse away all the soap with warm water. Be sure to remove all traces of the wash from hair and skin.
- Pat Dry: Gently pat the skin and hair dry with a soft towel. Avoid rubbing, as this can irritate sensitive skin.
- Moisturize (Optional): After bathing, you may want to apply a gentle lotion, like a Head-To-Toe lotion, to help keep the skin moisturized.
Important Considerations:
- Keep Out of Reach of Children: As with all bath products, store the head to toe wash out of reach of children.
- Avoid Eye Contact: Although most head to toe washes are tear-free, it's still best to avoid direct contact with the eyes. If soap gets in the eyes, rinse immediately with water.
- Patch Test (If Necessary): If you are using a new product on a baby with sensitive skin, consider doing a patch test on a small area of skin first to check for any allergic reactions.
- Frequency: How often you use head to toe wash depends on individual needs. For babies, bathing every other day or every few days may be sufficient.
In summary, using head to toe wash involves wetting the hair and body, applying the wash, lathering gently, and rinsing thoroughly, followed by drying and optional moisturizing. Always prioritize safety and gentleness.
