My daughter has a bath every night, but it usually just involves splashing around in some warm water. I try to get a bit of baby soap on her hands/face/feet. Sometimes I put a little conditioner on the ends of her hair. But honestly, if she doesn't get any soap at all, I think plain water is fine. I only really wash her hair once every week or two. It depends on if we have been swimming. Don't make bath time hard on yourself. If your LO doesn't want her hair washed, then just leave it. Or, pour a little warm water on the back of her head if it makes you feel proactive. :) She'll be just fine without a shampoo. xx

my 3 year old son hates hair washing. One thing that has made him better able to cope is to give him a dry flannel to hold over his eyes (although it gets wet when i pour a bowl of water over his head to rinse). I also just noticed a little jug you can buy on ebay that conforms to the top of the head so that you are only pouring water back from the hairline, but the child must tip their head at least slightly.

as far as amount of baths - only 1-2 week, maybe 3 on the odd dirty week. He has a recurring rash thing that made us cut back to one time/week for a long time.

We do a bath every other night unless he's really dirty for some reason (13.5 months). We don't use shampoo at all on him (and only rarely use baby bubbles) and he smells lovely and his hair is always nice and shiny. I think baby/toddler shampoo is a bit of a con really, plain water does a fab job, is nice and natural and added bonus is, it's free!

Both babies (2mo and 21mo) have a bath every night- part of the sacred bedtime routine. My son has his hair washed around once a week or so and rarely with shampoo- only if he's got suncream or sand in it or something.


We use lavender oil, if anything, in the bath. More ??? for Mummy to buy herself extortiante and unnecessary Lush products that way...

Washing hair in the shower is much easier than the bath. If you let them splash around while you have your shower you can get their hair when they're not expecting it. Sometimes my daughter hardly notices. Much easier to rinse off shampoo and avoid eyes too.

In answer to your question, not very often and mainly for fun. Hair wash about once per week and usually because we've been swimming.

Am I the only one whose toddler's hair is covered in food/paint/playdough/milk etc at the end of each day and therefore needs it washing?? It is quite long though...Baths every night for us- scared to disrupt the routine! Quite a nice way to end the day (if they enjoy it) we wash E's hair with a watering can which seems to make it fun.

Top top - buy snorkel and mask and get them to hold mask over eyes (better than swimming goggles) and then u can wash their hair and let water over their faces without them freaking it's in their eyes. :)


I bath them about 5x a wk. Not set night when I don't just when I'm tired and can't be bothered :)

My two have a bath every night, mainly because they enjoy it and as Mr Pickle is generally home by bathtime it's a nice way for him to spend time with them. We wash their hair a couple of times a week, maybe more if, like today, they are sweaty little messes by the end of the day!

This is very interesting. I had assumed most people bathed children every night and did hair too, as we have always done. I started as I was told by a friend that it was good for establishing a routine/ helpful with sleep patterns and we were very keen to have children who were easy to get to bed and long sleepers. It worked but I am not sure what would have happened if they hadn't liked water. Both would happy pour a cup of water in their eyes as "play" and giggle like maniacs. In retrospect, probably quite unusual...

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
