Every time I wash my baby's hair, it's like a war. It's an easy thing to do, but it's hard to do. Why don't they like washing their hair? Does it make them feel so uncomfortable? In fact, there is a reason why babies don't like washing their hair, and ultimately, it is also due to your negligence. Don't believe me, let's take a look and see if you've been hit?
1、 The water is too hot and the scalp feels uncomfortable
Children's skin is often much more delicate and sensitive to temperature than adults. Sometimes you feel that the water temperature is just right, but for babies, they may still feel very hot. When babies feel uncomfortable being hot, it is easy to form a "psychological shadow" and resist washing their hair.
How to do it: You can use the skin inside the elbow to test the water temperature. When the skin inside the elbow feels that the water temperature is normal and slightly cool, the temperature is normal for young children, which is 37-38 ℃. If it is in winter, the temperature can be slightly higher, but it should not exceed 40 ℃.
2、 The shower water hitting my head is too uncomfortable
This is also one of the main reasons why babies prefer not to wash their hair. Adults may think it's nothing, but for babies, it may really be unbearable. The shower heads sold on the market now spray water with great force to achieve the effect of "washing clean". However, the skull of young children has just closed, and the skin on their heads is delicate and sensitive. The water flow is too strong, which will only make their scalp uncomfortable.
How to do it: Since the strong water flow makes the baby feel disgusted, then switch to a milder one. Small teapots and watering kettles are both good choices. Families with conditions can also choose cartoon nozzles specifically designed for children, teach babies to wash their hair themselves, and let them choose the position they feel comfortable flushing. This way, washing hair can be a pleasure and not difficult to carry out.
3、 Shampoo entering the eyes is so painful
It's painful for shampoo to enter the eyes of adults, let alone young children. When washing hair, it is easy to accidentally get shampoo into the baby's eyes. The burning sensation is simply terrifying and makes the baby extremely afraid of washing hair.
What should I do if my baby doesn't like washing their hair
Be sure to use specialized infant formula shampoo, which has low irritation. In addition, parents can buy a high-quality shampoo cap for their baby to help him wear, which can also reduce the probability of shampoo entering the eyes.
