Hi mummies, I need some advise. My baby's coming 1 soon. We use to bath him in the bath tub with j&j top to toe soap for both head n body. But recently, he scratch his head so bad that there are many scratches. So we decided to shampoo his head with the same soap(more concentrated with bubbles). But each time we pour water to wash off his shampoo, he cries. How do u wash yr baby's head?
How to shampoo baby's head n wash off without baby struggling n crying?

1 ? meaning 1 years old?
When my son was one, I shampooed his hair with a seperate shampoo and body wash....I told him to look down, close his eyes while I wet his hair, shampoo it and then rinse off

You think ur bb cries too cos' of the scratches on his head that with shampoo & water is painful?
My husband showers with our son since he was 4 months old, so before we put his head under the shower we'd count 1 2 3 and immerse his head under the shower. He's gotten used to that and know what is to come. Maybe use less shampoo? Too concentrated and it may dry out his scalp and cause him to scratch more.
Is he scratching cos of itch? what shampoo brand are you using? Should consider those milder ones. My boy has sensitive skin so i use sebamed baby hair and body soap. It's not very moisturizing so i still put some moisturizer on him after bath.
I think Gaia or california baby has some for sensitive skin.
