Tips for little ones’ headwear:
- Always choose headwear with a bit of stretch and made from soft fabric. No one wants something tight or itchy on their head, least of all a baby.
- Skip any headbands that are hard or plastic for babies – their little heads are delicate, still taking shape and need protecting.
- Make sure it fits right! Too big can become a hazard and too small – ouch!
- Do remove headwear when putting your bub down for a nap. Wearing these kinds of accessories should always be done so under supervision. Babies wriggle around a lot which can sometimes cause accessories to gradually move over the face. So keep an eye on where that bow is at.
Tips to keeping headwear on:
Let’s be honest, this is half the battle, right? You’ve found something super cute and your little princess is just NOT HAVING IT. Here are our tips for keeping headwear on!
- Start them young! If you start putting headbands on for just a small amount of time from the very first few days, your little lass won’t know any different. She’ll be familiar with wearing something on her noggin and won’t go to pieces when you want her to wear a giant Christmas bow for photos.
- Start small. Start with just a lightweight small bow in the early days before launching into bigger bows. Lightweight is key!
- Model the behaviour. Monkey see monkey do! Matching with mummy or siblings is always fun and can encourage kids to keep theirs on a little longer. Hopefully. EVERYONE put their headbands on!
- Good old fashioned distraction. When dressing your bub, keep her hands and mind busy with another activity or toy so she isn’t so quick to immediately pull off her spunky turban or headband.
- If your baby’s natural reaction is to pull their headwear off, try putting it on just before you wake them up from a nap. Sneaky, but often successful.
