    just a quick question- how do you rinse the shampoo out of your toddlers hair?!
    when my one was a baby she'd get away with just a damp cloth over her head but now she has hair she needs shampoo and she wont let me rinse it without kicking up a fuss!
    theres no chance of her keeping a shampoo shield on! any ideas?

    ah the memories , if in a bath , I used to just put my thumb and forefinger across the top of the forehead and get them to look up at the ceiling, just used a cup to rince the head

    yeh i use a sponge and squeeze the water onto her head to rinse but shes on to me when i tell her to look up and she just says no mammy! when she sees me getting ready to rinse she watches me like a hawk and tells me to stop! ive resorted to just doing it but i feel cruel when she gets water in her eyes! shes too young to understand that it needs to be rinsed and she actually loves getting the shampoo done :rolleyes:

    Put Vaseline on her eyebrows and the water runs down the side of her face rather than into her eyes.

    OP I resorted to the same thing rinsing as quickly as I could but felt really bad....

    eventually I helped build up her confidence to lie down in the bath so most rinsed itself and just needed a little splash for the forehead..

    This works for me too, or the swimming goggles option.

    this is sheer brilliance! Simple but brilliant, can imagine my young lad in the bath now thinking he's part of a lunar landing
