Co washing and self-feeding
So, my little baby-doll is quickly approching 1 and of course is refusing to let me feed her anymore. she has to do it herself. well, the only problem is that the food inevitably ends up in her hair! corn, peas, black beans, sweet potatoes, cheerios(?) it doesn't matter.
i'd like to cowash more but the food in the hair drives mr crazy. i currently use burt's baby bees body wash and shampoo and forget about conditioning unless i want wwIII. so has anyone found a conditioner that actually washes out whatever is stuck in the hair as well?
thanks,
wilykat

the conditioners ive used on her have been giovanni, elucence, and currently california baby calming conditioner (i think im going to stick with the california baby).
and maybe you could wash your little ones hair with shampoo once a week and then co wash the other times. that way she gets her conditioning and clean hair without wwII!

If you haven't already, try drenching her hair with conditioner as soon as you get her in the tub. Leave it in while she plays. It will soften the food, etc in her hair and make it easier to get it out later.
It's what I do with my 2 year old curly. I put him in the tub, wet his hair, and cover his head with conditioner. I leave it on until I'm almost ready to get him out. Then I use my fingers to scrub and "comb" the food bits out. Once I'm fairly sure everything is at least loosened up, then I give him a quick rinse and pull him out.
Suave tropical coconut has good slip to it and seems to do a good job of loosening even dried on spaghetti sauce. I do sometimes have to scrub his scalp a bit with my fingers though if he's really done a job on himself.
