Washing a baby's hair in the sink is a convenient and comfortable option, especially when they're too small for a bathtub or shower. Here's how to do it:
- Prepare the sink: Clean the sink thoroughly with hot soapy water to ensure hygiene.
- Prepare the baby: Swaddle your baby in a warm towel to keep them secure and cozy.
- Position the baby: Gently place the baby in the sink, ensuring their head is tilted back slightly.
- Wet the hair: Slowly pour warm water over their head, avoiding their eyes.
- Apply shampoo: Use a gentle, low-pH baby shampoo and massage it into their scalp. Rinse the shampoo thoroughly.
- Dry the hair: Pat the baby's hair dry with a soft towel.
This method offers close proximity to your baby while providing a safe and comfortable hair washing experience.
