Many parents are confident that there is nothing complicated about giving their baby their first haircut and that they can easily handle it themselves.

However, it is worth remembering that a small child may have difficulty sitting still even for a few minutes and may be frightened by various objects that you use for cutting.

To avoid this, you should prepare your child for the haircut process in advance.

For example, you can offer him to sit in a bathtub filled with water with floating toys, or turn on his favorite cartoon. You can also ask someone close to you to help you as an "entertainer".

This way, the child will be busy and will not experience stress or fear during the haircut process.

Since time is limited, you shouldn’t try to make a complicated model haircut – it’s enough to simply remove the longest strands that are in the child’s way.

When cutting, make sure that the hair does not fall on the body of the little fidget, this can frighten or irritate him. Hold the hair with your free hand so that it does not fall on the face or in the eyes of the child.

After cutting, change your child into clean clothes and rinse him in the shower to remove all hair from his body.
