What is wrong with giving a baby a haircut before turning 1?

My mother said it causes a speech poblem later, but I have never heard of this. My nephew will be 1 in 3 weeks and I said it doesn't make much of a difference whether he's 11 months and 7 days or 12 months. I know it can be hard to do because they squirm, but does the actual process of cutting the hair (with or without clippers) cause speech issues?

I believe that would be an old wives tale. It does not matter how old your child is for their first hair cut. I would suggest no clippers because the child may be frightened.

Oh gosh, your welcome. I am a mother, and don't always know everything either! HAHA. My son was 10 months old when we cut his hair, everyone called him a girl! Beautiful blond hair with lots of waves. He was a pretty baby! (he is now 18, no brain damage)



Enjoy your little one! Report It

Must be an old wives tale. I cut my son's at 11 months and he's now 19 months and talking like crazy.

The speech thing is ridiculous. If your baby needs a haircut, then get him a haircut.

there's no problem, and it definitely doesn't cause speech problems. it's probably just a family tradition.

Your mother must be on crack or something.



If the baby's hair is long enough to need a haircut, then give it a haircut.

NO.....speech problems don't come from a haircut. Cut my sons hair at 6 weeks because there was so much...he talks normally...well...maybe a bit too much, but normally.

i think thats another wifes tale....i have a cousin who married a african guy and he didnt want my cousin to cut their babies hair because he says she is cutting his "smartness"...and she has to wait till he is 1.



And i have another cuzin...where they always cut their babies hair at like 4 months...because it gets rid of the baby hair...and they will have healthy hair when they get older...nice, and shiny.



so i guess everyones different.

I have never heard of a speech problem occurring from a hair cut. The only reason that most people wait to give a baby a haircut until they turn 1 is because it makes them look older all of a sudden. Take the little fellow to a shop where they are set up for small children. My daughter found a shop for her little ones that had a chair shaped like a car. They loved going to get a hair cut.

Unless you can trim it while he is sleeping or have a safe place to put him where he can't more at all, I wouldn't bother. I started trimming my daughter's hair at 1 and 1/2 and she was such a squirmer.



You have your whole life to give them haircuts, once you give them the first one, the baby hair, and sometimes beautiful curls, go away....



What is wrong with giving a baby a haircut before turning 1?

It don't make a difference.Cut his hair if it is long.It is going to be getting really hot soon and well like it better cut.I never heard of a speech issues when you cut the hair before 1.



What is wrong with giving a baby a haircut before turning 1?

omg speech problems? thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard! if you can recall from elemenatry school, hair is DEAD SKIN CELLS! not connected to the brain or voicebox whatsoever.



the only way it will give him a speech problem is if you are cutting his hair, he squirms, and you puncture his next badly. but that can happen at any age.



What is wrong with giving a baby a haircut before turning 1?

Hair cutting too soon = speech problem? Um, nope.



My son had his first hair cut before a year old... and he speaks perfectly. In fact, I'm raising my children bilingually. :)



What is wrong with giving a baby a haircut before turning 1?

There's nothing wrong with it. My son's 8 months and already had 4 haircuts and he can say dada and momma.



What is wrong with giving a baby a haircut before turning 1?

That's a ridiculous and far-fetched wive's tale.



What is wrong with giving a baby a haircut before turning 1?

I had to cut my baby's hair 4 times before he tuned one because it grew like wild fire. I't's best to do it while they are asleep in there carrier when they don't squirm.



What is wrong with giving a baby a haircut before turning 1?

I shaved both my boys hair before 1 and there both fine



What is wrong with giving a baby a haircut before turning 1?

Because they still have that soft spot on top of their head where the skull hasn't completely formed over the brain yet.



What is wrong with giving a baby a haircut before turning 1?

that sounds like a old wives tale...there is not any research to make that statement hold up!!!



think about it logically!!



What is wrong with giving a baby a haircut before turning 1?

HA HA HA! Moms! for some things yes, you will want to wait the extra days just to be sure, but for hair cutting, its more of a tradition to wait then anything else. hair is just "dead" cells- and considering many babies dont even get hair in their first year, yeah, its ok. :)



What is wrong with giving a baby a haircut before turning 1?

Nothing wrong with it at all, i think that it is cultural tradition when the baby gets its first haircut, my friends are muslim and it is tradition for them to shave the newborns head she says it means they'll get strong healthy hair.



What is wrong with giving a baby a haircut before turning 1?

That's crazy...I mean come on, what correlation is there between cutting hair and speech?!? Cut your baby's hair.
