Bath time

By Laura Pratt

Your newborn won't be very keen on her bath right away -- here's how to get her comfortable and keep her safe
Safety basics and hair-washing

Now hair this!
Find me a toddler who loves having her hair washed and I'll find you a relieved parent.

Here's how to make the experience less hair-raising for you both.

• Buy nonirritating children's shampoo and let your child help you rub it on.

• Give your child a watering can or pail for rinsing her hair. Tell her she's a flower and the water will help her grow.

• Adopt a ritual of "One, two, three: close your eyes and hold your breath" to avoid water in her mouth or eyes.

• Try a bath visor, such as the Eyes R Dry model (www.canadababy.com), to keep suds from dripping down onto Baby's face.
