 Strange bath question 
I'm having a hard time rinsing out DD's hair after her shampoos -- when she was laying down during her baths there was no problem at all, but now that she sits up it seems impossible to rinse her hair without dumping the water straight over her head. I tried doing it slowly & making a game out of it, but I got too scared when she started wincing. She won't sit back or tilt her head up, even when I try coaxing her.  
  There's got to be a better way -- how do you all do it?

 Re: Strange bath question 
I used to tip them back & say "Look at mommy!" or "Look at the ceiling!".  Someone posted a cup with a rubber seal from One Step Ahead that they said worked.  I'll try to find the link.
  Here's the link & image:One Step Ahead - Bath Cup

 Re: Strange bath question 
I would just cup the front of my kids' head so it wouldn't get in their eyes and rinse it out with a few cups full of water or until it all got out..  We also had a detachable nozzle in their bathrooms so it made it easier to get it out.

 Re: Strange bath question 
I cover  the  front of  my  dd  head  like as  if I am  shielding her  eyes  from the  sun and as the  I pour the  water  I  run my  hand   from  front to  back to  get the  soap  out.  at  first  she  didn't like it  but she got  use to  it  and  she would wince when  water would get into  her  face  but  she is  so  use to it  that  she will take a  cup of  water and  pour  it  over  her  own head .  THere is a  visor  in  one step ahead   Image Attachment(s):

 Re: Strange bath question 
You should definitely buy a detachable shower head. They are great. I bought one at TJ Maxx for like 12 bucks

 Re: Strange bath question 
My mom used to recline us a bit and rinse our heads under the running faucet in the tub.  That gave enough pressure to get the shampoo out quickly.
