Joram was born with more hair than the rest of his siblings. Since he is a boy, I can't simply let the hair grow out like I could for the girls. His 'sideburns' were thick and hair was covering his ears. Those at the back of the neck were also pretty long. If I don't do something about it, someone might start to mistake him for a girl!
I've never attempted to cut the hair of a newborn. The girls were a few months old before I needed to trim their fringe while Joash needed a haircut only when he reached his first birthday. So, in order to do it safely, I decided to trim the hair and shave off his 'sideburns' in the standing bath tub lined with a cushion and a blanket. Using my trusty old nose trimmer, soft-bristle hairbrush and a disposable shaver, I finished the job in 15 min. Joram did cry a little when I did his nape but calmed down when I picked him up to finish up with the shaver.
Depending on his temperament, I may not be able to do this by myself the next time he needs a haircut...
