We do it with him sitting in the bath and I go very gently at it. When his whole head is wet he is screaming blue murder and rinsing off the shampoo makes me feel so cruel it's not true. He hates getting water in his eyes and I sponge shampoo off with DH nearby ready to dry his face or cover it with a flanel if it's ll going so badly we have to go fast. Have just started wetting the back of his head every night during every bath in an attempt to get him used to having his hair wet and then to move to wetting his whole head every night, but on a very gradual basis.
