During bath time my daughter is fine... Until I tried to wash the Shampoo out of her hair. She HATES the water in her face and won't let me gently lean her back to wash the shampoo out of her hair. I don't want her to hate bath time. So anyone have anything that I might be able to try?

My son would never like being laid back to wash it out, but i just dump it on his head and he is fine with it. They have this cute little Turtle Cup at Walmart one side is soft so you can put it up to their forehead and rinse without any face contact.

My son is the same way. When I can, I get in the bath with him and let him lay back against my legs; he still doesn't like it much, but the extra support helps, and he will stay calmer and let me rinse his hair.

I used to put a cloth or flannel on my daughter's forehead when rinsing her hair so that it caught the water before it got on her face.
My youngest won't even have a bath though - she just won't even sit down never mind lie down - so I have to let her stand while I shower her. I think we get more water on the floor than on the baby but it is easier to rinse her hair with the shower than with a cup.

Have you tried a rinse cup? Just a big cup that you fill with water and it fits their forehead so they don't get water in their eyes. You can find it in the baby bath section in walmart and target. My son is the opposite, he'd rather have it in his eyes and screams when I try to use the rinse thing.
