Does anyone else have trouble washing there toddlers hair?
Alesha is fine but Caitlin my god you would think we are pouring water straight from the kettle she screams and screams and tryings to get away from us washing her hair! She has always been like this but getting worse as she's getting older we even tilt her head back incase was water goin in her face but she still screams

Please say we are not only ones

We have that problem too. Imogen's not quite as bad but she'll splash and scream and scoot away like it's a game. I've started doing it slowly, instead of using anything to pour water over, i just scoop some water in my hand then put it over her head and play with her hair a bit so doesn't really realise what I'm doing. It takes longer but she doesn't scream and mess around as much

Munches hair is so long and thick I would be there an hour just gutting it wet I was guna try lying her down in the bath but she screamed and freaked out completely

I have vivd memories of being about 2/3 in the bath and screaming my head off because i had to have my hair washed. I didn't like the water on my face even when my head was back it still went in. Have you tried one of them little hat thingies that stop the water completely?

Callums a nightmare and he has short hair so dread how much harder isit for you with girls.

Ive tried using a cup or a sponge bt he hates it its not even going in his face just going down the back of his hair he screams x

oo paige has been getting like this. she used to be okay with it buit now she is a night mare. we have to buy a two in one shampoo as she makes such a fuss about it.

Oliver used to have his moments where he'd freak out if I rinsed his hair, but he's not half as bad now as he has showers so he's kind of used to having water on his head.

But...I found another good tip was to see if he could 'swim'. I'd say @show mummy your swimming and he'd lay in the bath with his head just above the water level but it give me oppertunity to rinse it, then he'd get wise and sit up, so i'd say..ohh, thats brilliant baby, show mummy again Cos he gets loads of praise from it, he does it again and again lol - could be worth a try, otherwise try the shower head - I find if you let them play with it a bit 1st they don't freak out half as much. xx

We have a total nightmare with caelyn too. She screams and thrashes about, ive tried the shower head, getting her to lie down, swimming goggles the lot. She simply wont close her eyes and mouth and in the end i justhave to do it. I only do it twice a week i cant put her through it anymore than that
