Wet hair??

[Tegan221]

Does anybody else’s baby cry once you’ve washed your hair? I come out the bathroom and every time without fail, she’ll look directly at me and just scream for long periods. She’s 7 months old, just wondering if it’s common.

I had a maternity nurse who said that for the first few weeks (can't remember how long), it's a good idea to keep your hair the same as the baby looks at the shape of your face and hair, rather than your features. However, I shouldn't think this is necessary at seven months.

When my son was a baby he would cry at Thomas the tank engine. Children are just funny sometimes.

Yes! I had to wash my hair in the evenings so that my youngest son didn't see me with wet hair for a while. He would really cry. About the age of yours if I recall. It was ok a few months later and it helped by having him watch what I was doing so that he understood why I looked so different. (Big wild hair to drowned rats tails)

Have you got very distinctive hair? As someone with an awful lot of very curly hair, I remember my niece looking totally freaked out the first time she saw me with it tied up. I took it down and recognition dawning on her face. I made a game of it then, pulling it back and letting it free - she thought it was hysterical

i personally never look uglier than in the mirror at the hairdresser, so i can certainly that face would terrify a child.

None of my 4 ever did that.

When my oldest was about 8mo he saw me with wet hair for the first time and he found it hysterically funny! We've got videos

Aw. Ds2 did that at about the same age.

First I went into his room with my wet hair in a towel turban. He cried- full on wobbly lip and everything.
I took the towel off and ran my hand through my hair- he cried some more.
Scarped it back into a pony tail (my usual hairdo)- magically stopped crying.

Funny little weirdo

Yeah, I have really curly hair. As soon as I’ve got out of the shower she screams for at least 20 minutes. I think putting it up in a towel is the best way to go then 😂
