How to Shampoo a Baby's hair

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Liz Hood on behalf of Expert Village and right now I am going to talk about how to shampoo your baby's hair in the bath. Now, one important thing that you must have is a cup so that you can take water and kind of pour over head without getting in the eyes. It's good to keep tearless shampoo around because that is kind of an acquired skill to pour water over his head without it getting to his eyes because sometimes babies kind of jerk around a lot. Really kind of rub in the shampoo a little bit. Now, if your baby happens to have cradle cap one thing you can do is kind of leave the shampoo on for just a little while. It's best to still go with baby shampoo unless your physician tells you differently. You sure are cute. Look at you. I usually try and shampoo their hair right after doing his face and then moving on to washing the rest of the body. Right now I am rinsing. It's good to kind of, as you pour it, kind of take your hand and shield his face also from getting any water on it. It's also good to try and avoid getting too much water in the ears. Whoops, want to sit up so I can get the back. It's good to have them sit up so that you can make sure that you can really get the shampoo off the back because otherwise it can kind of build up. Anyway, we have got him shampooed now and we are going to move on to cleaning the rest of his body. "
