I am a mother of twin boys and one of my boy cries lot when i apply soap in his face and also when i wash his hair. he was fine before but now since a week, he cries a lot which creats unnecessary tention between me and my husband. can anyone suggest me for this please!!! Srinithi replied. For babies below 2 yrs once or twice a week we can apply soap. Iguess your son has got scared whenever you take your hand towards his face and he starts wailing. And further be gentlye when you apply. For the time being I can advise you to stop applying soap and bathe hom with plain water. rita replied. hi Shital,
My 10 month old daughter doesn't like it either if I apply soap or lotion on her face. Try keeping some bath toys handy, or distracting with some song.

My daughter also started crying during hair washing recently. I now apply less oil on her head, but massage well. I apply shampoo and rinse just once. she cries briefly when i rinse her head with water. it's the last thing i do during her bath.

i then hold her for some time till she's better and continue drying.

you can also try sitting in the tub, and holding the baby in cradle position. your husband can pour the water.it won't fall on the face.

hope it helps.
