| Washing the face How do you all wash your babies face and get it real clean. I need to find a nozzle/ hose that will fit over this HUGE tub faucet so I can spray her as opposed to pouring water on her..I have to be extra careful around her ears at bath time because I don't want to give her an ear infection. I was just wanting to know everyones routine for cleaning around the ear and face.....

| In between baths, I get his face wet with warm water. I have to get my hands wet and wipe his face gently. Then I use a flea comb to clean the goop around his eyes. Couver does not enjoy this, but it is a necessary thing. His eyes have to be cleaned just about every other day.

YT Addict | I take a wash cloth and squeeze it on his face and then gently scrub him with it. Emmett freaks out if I dump water near his face.

Donating YT 11K Club Member | When I take Teddy and London a bath i use a hose that is in my bathtub so i have to be careful around the face. I use a toothbrush to wipe around the eyes, etc with tearless shampoo and then i fill a cup of water and wash it off that way or with a wet washcloth

| This is exactly what i do. I use Lorel kids tearless shampoo and sqeeze it on a toothbrush. I wet her face using a washcloth first, then wash her, then saturate the washcloth with water and wipe her clean. her face usually takes me a few minutes to clean. But on a daily routine i use that calm eyes stuff. Use it every morning and right before bed. I just want to add that i dont recommend it. She still has really bad tear stains but it does help a little bit. If i dont use it, her eyes get really bad

| Twinkle and Wicket stand in the bath under the shower head - luckily they both like water on their faces and will look up with thir eyes closed as if they are really enjoying it! I also use a tear-free shampoo. In between baths (well, showers!) I use a wash cloth on their faces.

| I 'wash' Lucy's face every day using unscented baby wipes - so when it comes to bathtime, there's very little trouble in making sure she's clean. However, I'm lucky - she doesn't seem to mind the shower on her head / face when it comes to a proper bath.

| My 12 week old baby really likes to get a bath. Everytime someone is in the bathtub, she is jumping and whining wanting in the water. One day DH was taking a shower and he opened the door and she climbed right in. So cute................... |
