Did you shave your baby's head?

[kenxf_03]

My DS went for shaving during his 1st and 4th mths!

According to my MIL, its best to shave baby's hair during his/her 1st mth and 4th mth! She said that the hair during the 1st mth is very "dirty" so must shave...

I brought DS for shaving again when he's 4 mth again. Now the hair is so bits and pieces loh! He used to have nice and silk long hair when he's borned!! Now, so sad.... :embarrassed:

i'm thinkin whether to shave my girl head too. she gt lots of hair and everyone say very nice. but she pespire a lot and keep scratchin and pullin her hair. i wonder shld i shave her head... what do you all think??

I think just leave it..if u shave then dont grow nice how?
All babies pespire anyways..if u can just leave it first ..if drop alot then maybe u can reconsider.

Hi jasobias,

I'm so agree with u! Now Ds's hair dont grow out nicely cos he's been lying on his back to slp. Hence, his hair dont grow well. But PD said that when he started to sit up then his hair will grow evenly..

Hi jasobias,

[kenxf_03]

why is that 1st month baby hair is dirty?

i also donno the exact reason beside it? Must be those old wives tales ba.. MIL said must shave then shave loh. If not, kp on nagging and nagging.. Shave also she said one, now DS hair uneven also say y hair like that, so diff from during birth. >.<

For my in laws, they reccomend shaving because they say the hair will grow back thicker and fuller. Not sure real or not. haha.

Because they have 4 kids, 2 boys, 2 girls. The guys they shaved, whereas the girls, they didn't as my FIL say not pretty. In the end, its the guys in the family (including DH and his brother) has very thick full head of hair, whereas for the sisters, well, they have rather thin hair and have some slight balding problems, not that noticable when cover by hair.

As for the old wives tales, I have not heard that from any sides of the family.

my mum actu ask me not to bring ds to shave his hair today but i just brought him to shave.. cos they said lunar 1st & 15th is for those ppl's home got funeral cut hair one... then i told her, actu is they can only shave on these 2 days on that mth but doesnt mean we cannot go cut or shave...

so now, ds is officially botak!!! HAHA!!! :tlaugh:

 

[mandymtb]

tats why i didnt hv the intention to shave my gal at all cos she is a c-sect baby... ancing_wub:

furthermore, her hair is SO full, texture is SO good, i really cannt figure out a good reason to shave her... so i tot beta post in here and ask the mummies here....:001_302:

I also thought of baby born with very nice hair, but still went ahead shaving on his 1st month, now his hair very patchy and uneven. My father in law want to secretly bring him for his 2nd shave, luckily i stopped them in time.

But do you mummies think i should shave again for the hair to grow properly? I dont't mind his "shaolin monk" head actually, just that i got no patience to wait for it to grow again.

 

[CanCanMum]

i dink u shd juz leave it at the moment....coz baber, after his 1st shave, was patchy at first but then later on was nicely grown already....no more patchiness.....

but we only shaved at 4months....

 

[hakisumi]
