«In some cultures
parents shave a newborn's head; in others it's customary to
wait until a child can speak to
cut his hair for the first time, so there's no hard and fast rule,» says Lyuba Konopasek, assistant professor of pediatrics at the New York - Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City.
However, since babies don't understand what patience means, most
parents usually choose the fastest heating method to
cut down on the
waiting time.
