To shampoo a baby's hair, start by putting a small amount of baby shampoo on their head. Gently rub the shampoo into their scalp using a circular motion. Make sure to keep your baby's head tilted back so the shampoo doesn't run into their eyes. After the shampoo is worked into their scalp, rinse their hair and body thoroughly with clean water.
Here are some tips for shampooing a baby's hair:
- Use a mild, tear-free baby shampoo.
- Avoid using too much shampoo. A small amount is all that is needed.
- Don't wash your baby's hair every day.
- Be gentle when rinsing.
- Consider using a washcloth to help rinse the shampoo out of your baby's hair.
You can also choose to wash your baby's hair with just water during the first few months, especially if they are sensitive to shampoo.
