A trick of the trade #4
>> Thursday, April 5, 2012
Luckily, other moms shared their trick with attaching bows to bald baby girls. You see, all you need is a little bit of corn syrup or glue. (Yes...glue.)
See this here bow attached on my sweet baby girls head when she was 4 months old? It was attached with one of the two.
I started out with corn syrup. But, long story short, it was messy....and it didn't come off very easily. So then I moved on to glue. Now, before you possibly judge me, know that it is just regular old non-toxic, washable, Elmer's glue. And only a tiny little dab does the trick. With a tiny little bit of water, it comes right off. (Or sometimes, it comes off quite naturally)
So with a little bit of ribbon, and a tiny dab of glue (or corn syrup if you like sticky messes), your sweet bald baby girl can be properly adorned, too.
**It should be noted that I have heard of other components to use to attach the bows, but these were the two that I felt most comfortable with.

Aww, isn't she dear! A great trick to share!
She is such a cutie! I wish I'd known about this trick when I had my bald daughter. We used KY gel which was incredibly embarrassing to admit when people asked . . . and they ALWAYS asked. :)
Thanks! She is almost 16 months now and looking at this picture makes me a little sad that she's grown up so fast!
And yes, they do always ask! Which is why I completely avoided the KY gel option! I've decided if I get the opportunity again to have a bald girl and people ask how I stick the bows to her head I'd tell them a hot glue gun just to see their response :)
KY jelly works well. That's what they used at the hospital on our daughter.
This works great too!
