I need advice on helping baby overcome fear of hair washing
A few weeks ago, my 11 almost 12 month old was crawling around the tub and slipped. His face fell into the water and since then he's been terrified of getting his hair washed, even gets upset if I just use a wet wash cloth. He is otherwise pretty happy in the bathtub.
I can't lay him back and support him with my arm to try and rinse him so the water goes backwards instead of down his face. He'll panic with that too.
Does anyone have any tips, tricks, or games I can use to help him get over his fear?
