Shaving your baby?s head: Would you do it?But the long, lush hair? The jury is still out on that one. It?s got to be one of life?s cruelest ironies. My sons all have massive amounts of hair?very thick, some wavy and some curly. They were all born with a bunch of hair, too. My first daughter?

Shaving your baby?s head: Would you do it?
Every man probably has some vague notion of his first visit to the barber shop, usually with his father. (Barbers, too, have memories of this event many of them unhappy.) My first was in keeping with local drill which said all lads have closely cropped hair-largely to prevent endemic problems such as head lice and ring worm. (This was Africa where these things were then very common problems but, in line with that, Malaria wasn't treated as much more than a heavy cold....) But a baby? The headline refers to a story so the point of the action described is somewhat lost. A baby, and by that I'll assume they mean something of an infant, won't have much response to this. If they enjoy the warm water of a bath, this will just seem adjunctive to that. Still....why? PJ
