    Vanathi, here's your answer for your question on where to get these visors (from the thread in Toddlers forum about hair washing.) So here you go...

    Thanks, gokusha.

    I am not sure, Vanathi. I am thinking of buying a cheapo visor from a dollar store and try it on her before investing money on this. She doesn't like anything on her head, a hat, hair clip or a scrunchie.... aarrgghhh :spin

    Re: head bath - infants

    Hi Sri,

    I wash my son's head everyday. I used Johnson's Baby tip to toe for head as well as body.

    Here in Australia, we get like a support thing to place inside the baby bathtub so that baby can rest on it, it is like slant sitting. it makes it easier to wash his hair and body.

    Sri, at two months, we washed Riya's hair every other day (it was winter). We used Johnson's baby bath. My mother was here at that time, so she used to give Riya her baths. After my mom left we got a bathtub for Riya that would fit in the kitchen sink and I would give her a bath using the kitchen sprayer.

    This is the tub we used. It fits perfectly on a kitchen sink and once the baby gains head control, you can sit her up on the toddler side and also use it on the floor (in the adult bath tub).

    P.S. - I have merged your thread with an already existing thread on bath tips and techniques. Please read through this thread to see what we have discussed in the past.

    Hi Anitha,

    Extremely hot water is bad for babies as the body may loose all the moisture. My grandmother did mention that pouring a bit of warm water on the eyes at the end of the bath will help the child to sleep better. We did it under the supervision of a massage lady for sometime, and now that I bathe my baby I hardly do all this.

    If the child is fed properly, he/ she will sleep in no time. Also if the child is partially hungry before the bath and cries too much, he gets tired by the time the bath is done and sleeps well after feeding. Just a suggestion.

    Regards,
    Lynette

    Re: Not to worry..

    Ami ,

    Is there a need to apply Talc after bath ? That is after applying oil when the body is wet and wipe it clean . Can we apply Almond Oil instead of baby Oil and wipe it clean? Please let me know if its advisable to apply talc after bath ?
