Are Headbands Ok for Babies?
As safe as our infant bows are, there are steps you should take to ensure your baby's safety.
Before Putting a Nylon Headband on Baby
Stretch the baby headband out a little by hand first so that it will not be too tight on your baby's head. After the first wear the nylon band will stay stretched out to the perfect size for your baby's head and will grow with her as her head grows so you will get lots of use out of it. Our nylon bows can comfortably stretch all the way from newborn to adult! For smaller newborns they are perfect baby bows for small heads as the nylon band starts off very small.
Placement
Placement is essential for a baby headband that doesn't slip off or down over their face. Place the headband so their forehead is not covered but not too far back that it will slip off the back.
The perfect placement of a baby hair bow is right on top of their head, centered or off to one side.
When Are Baby Headbands Not Safe?
Do not leave baby unattended when she is wearing a headband as she could potentially pull it down around her neck. this means baby headbands should be removed when baby goes down for a nap or at bedtime. Baby turbans should be taken off as well as they could end up being pulled down and covering her face while she is sleeping.
Do Baby Headbands Need to be Washed?
Sometimes baby may pull off her headband and it could get stained. If so you may be wondering, can I wash baby bows? Baby headbands only need to be washed if they get dirty or stained. Baby bows on nylon should be spot cleaned by hand while our baby headwraps can be washed in a gentle cold cycle and air dried to prevent any shrinking.
How to Organize Baby Headbands
Once you start a collection of bows you may wonder where to store baby headbands. Some ideas include storing them in a shallow drawer, a jewelry stand for bracelets/necklaces or on wall hooks.
