Does anyone else’s baby HATE the hairdryer or experienced this with your first?

Yeah! My 2 and a half year old hates hoovers, hand dryers, and hair dryers. It's really common, but we are now starting to desensitise him to the hoover

Yep mine is the same. Nothing else just the hairdryer 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yep and he is scared of the blender!

Makes me feel better that I’m not the only one! I had to put my LO in his cot to play this morning with nursery rhymes on, his bedroom door shut and our bedroom door shut for me to dry my hair whilst watching him on the baby monitor🫣😅

The things we have to do ayyyy🥲

My LO is exactly the same, absolutely hates the noise of the hairdryer, screams the place down when it's on and doesn't mind the sound of the hoover. To try help with it this week I have held the hairdryer and said mummy hold the hairdryer and its ok, then turn it on the lowest setting and let him touch it, also showed how the dog doesn't mind it and he was fine but as soon as we put it onto the highest setting he was screaming again, I covered his ears and he settled so I'm thinking it's the noise is hurting his ears maybe x

Maybe I should put his ear defenders on that we bought for the fireworks last year whilst I’m doing it and let him watch me to see if that helps.
Doesnt help that we don’t have enough time to wash our hair daily these days so he’s probably like what the hell are you putting to your head, as it’s not something he sees often 😂

Yes my little boy screams blue murder when i use the hairdryer. He used to be fine with it then hated it, then didnt mind it and now hates it again. I let him play with the hairdryer whilst its off before i start using it to try and let him get used to it and I sit with him and tell him its not going to hurt him or mummy but doesnt stop him from screaming the house down. He is the same with the hoover, screams the house down, i have had to resort to holding him whilst hoovering which isnt ideal. May have to try the ear defenders and see if that helps
