Washing baby's head and hair

Be sure to use a mild tear-free baby shampoo as soapy water will likely migrate into your baby’s eyes. See bathing with your baby first. Rest baby's head on your forearm leaving one hand free hand to do the washing. Squirt a pea size drop of shampoo onto a wet washcloth and gently rub the soapy washcloth all over your baby’s head. Make sure you wash in between the little rolls of fat under your baby’s neck and behind the ears. To rinse you can either scoop water with a cup, your hand or washcloth and rinse gently. When you're finished, wrap your baby in a towel. Always keep him warm and close to your body. This is something Daddy will enjoy doing as well.
