to want to shave my baby?

[SillyBeardyDaddyman]

Because he rubs his head around at night ds(0.7) has got a mop of wispy blonde hair piled on top of his head, but none on the sides or back. About a quarter of the top is also bald too!

Would I be a terrible parent to grab my clippers and give him a close shave?

Awww....leave him be!

My DD has lovely thick brown hair apart from at the back.....we call her Billy-Ray Cyrus

YANBU to want to

YABU to actually do it

But he looks like butters!

Arf at billy ray

I'd do the clippers tbh. Better no hair than weird combos of bald and long

Lol @ butters! But butters is cute!

I'm going to watch south park DVDs now

Ds was born with thick dark hair which all fell out except for the very back section. He looked like he had a massive eyebrow on the back of his head lol. I must admit I did consider shaving it off, but didn't actually do it!

That's all very well and as he's a he, no. If he was a she, it's never too early to begin waxing.

Ha ha! I agree with worrywort. It's not unreasonable to want to - it is to do it!

Errr - when Ds's hair all but completely fell out I carefull snipped it down to a sensible length with scissors..

He looked ridiculous - he had what we affectionately called a 'Terry Nutkin'

I didn't realise I was supposed to leave him all tufty!

For the no's, would it change your mind if I told you the long bits are about 3 inches long?

He's the only baby I know with a comb over :(

DD has a baby combover. I only let people look at her from the front....

I would grab an eyeliner and draw him a big curly moustache. He will then look vair distinguished.

If it helps, my baby has a dark brown nutkins at the back, a mid brown long curly mohican, and pale blonde round the sides. Weirdo.

I think baby sounds cute as is. YABU

Leave him daddy you brute.

Tempted by the idea of a mohican...

My DD has a mullet.

I can't bring myself to cut it though - she's never had her hair cut, ever (she's 2) and the thought of taking a little piece of her away just feels wrong.

I know that makes me sound very strange.

Voice of dissent here - do it. DD2 had a comb-over - she looked like the Hamlet ad. DH got his clippers out and gave her a all-over trim (keeping the clippings), and her hair has grown beautifully.

I took the clippers to DS2 when my BIL kindly started calling him Mel Smith. He looked much better afterwards!

According to MN wisdom one should only Immac babies

It seems incorrect to shave a baby though im not sure why. Hmmmm.

I've just noticed that ds has a Hitler style haircut at the back! About a third of the crown is missing and the rest flops down Hitler style. Just on the back of his head...

Hat?

He's not the type to willingly keep a hat on.
