baby hair barrettes
OK, Madeline's hair is now long enough to be getting in her eyes, but not
long enough to really stay back when brushed. She's only 8 months, but had a few inches of hair when she was born. I bought some "baby" size barrettes, and then realized that she could choke on them if they came out. Sure enough, on the back of the package in tiny letters it says "choking hazard" and not to be used by anyone under 3y.o.! So, any suggestions? I looked at Walmart today in the baby and in the hair care sections and found plenty of barrettes, etc _marketed_ for babies, but all marked as choking hazards! Of course, even the infant headbands were marked choking hazards, and she's have to try really hard to choke on those, so I'm not a slave to the label. I just need to find something that will keep her hair out of her eyes and be safe. I'm thinking something with velcro? Any links to stores appreciated! Amy |

OK. Maybe I am just some stupid guy, but why put anything in her hair at all?

Amy Tons of everyday items are considered choking hazards. Companies put this label on their packaging so they will not be liable in the case that a baby does end up choking on one, and also just so parents are more aware and careful not to leave them lying around. IMO, it is perfectly safe to use baby barrettes, just use common sense. Betsy |

Presumably with a male child you cut the hair. -- Amy Mum to Carlos born sleeping 20/11/02, & Ana born screaming 30/06/04 http://www.freewebs.com/carlos2002/ http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/ana%5Fj%5F2004/ My blog: http://spaces.msn.com/members/querer-hijo-querer-hija/ |

Larry Occasionally a baby will be born with long hair and some of us would not want to cut that hair when they are so tiny! So some type of bow is needed to keep the hair out of her eyes. My last baby had a really long curl I had to keep pulled back out of her right eye ) Marie |

Larry From Amy's post, I think the problem is that it's inhibiting her vision. Presumably with a male child you cut the hair. Yep, it gets in her eyes and it's not so much that it blinds her, but that it pokes her in the eyes. I don't want to cut bangs because I want to get it past this growing out stage and into long hair. Longer hair tends to "clump together" and stay back when tucked behind the ears, so it's just this awkward stage. |

Occasionally a baby will be born with long hair and some of us would not want to cut that hair when they are so tiny! So some type of bow is needed to keep the hair out of her eyes. My last baby had a really long curl I had to keep pulled back out of her right eye ) My long haired baby pulled out hair clips and stuffed them in her mouth. I used home made hair gel to keep her hair out of her eyes (though often I was too lazy to do it). www.pioneerthinking.com/hairgel.html I finally gave in and cut bangs, though now I regret it. At 20 months she has learned to bring me hair clips and have me do her hair. Now we have to go through growing out the bangs all over again. --Betsy |
