Скачать или смотреть A baby is crying at the barber shop

A baby crying at the barber (or during hair cutting ) is common due to fear of the unfamiliar environment, strange tools, and water in the face, often made worse by soap in the eyes; parents can help by using gentle, tear-free products, explaining the process, distracting with cartoons, holding them securely, and ensuring water is warm and doesn't get in their eyes. 

Why Babies Cry During Haircuts/Washing:

Fear & Strangeness: New people, sounds, and environments (like a barber's chair) are scary for babies.

Water & Soap: Getting water or soap in their eyes or face is uncomfortable and startling.

Tools: Clippers, scissors, and loud dryers can be frightening.

Disorientation: Being tilted back with water pouring over their head feels unnatural. 

Tips to Soothe a Crying Baby:

At Home: Use the kitchen sink or shower with you, holding them close, using a gentle, tear-free shampoo, and a small cup to rinse, shielding their eyes.

Distraction: Play their favorite cartoons or sing songs.

Gentle Approach: Use gentle touch, a soft shampoo, and massage the scalp gently.

Familiarity: Visit the salon just to sit in the chair before the cut, or have consistent stylists.

Preparation: Explain what's happening in simple terms and make funny faces. 

When it's About Soap:

If crying happens during soap use, it's likely eye irritation; switch to a mild baby soap (tear-free) and rinse thoroughly, keeping water off their face. 

The goal is to create a positive, calm experience to reduce fear and discomfort.
