When wash day is a struggle

If your toddler is not a fan of wash days, Leak says that preparation is just as important as technique.

“Know the personality of your child. If they respond well to playfulness you can utilize bath time and make it a song or game,” the 20-year veteran said. “If they respond well to skin-to-skin bonding, then make this the opportunity to share bath time and make it relaxing for them. Either way, make sure you are prepared with everything you need during this time.”

Additionally, Leak advised weary moms to try the following to make wash day a little easier.

1. Have a premade basket full of your favorite Curl Peace hair products and hair tools.

2. If you do not have one try installing a hand sprayer in the shower. This is a great tool to have because you have more control over the water.
3. Try the water visors for kids to help avoid getting water in the eyes.
4. Let them help you. The toddler stage is the time our babies are discovering their independence and the more we allow them to help the more they feel confident and the easier our jobs become.
5. Be patient. This process can be difficult as is without adding our stress emotions into the equation. Relax and breathe, sis!
