My neworn baby is 3 weeks old and has very bush brushy eyebrows. Everytime someone comes over to see her they laugh and comment at how wild she looks. I am tired of their snickering and want to do something about it. I am thinking of arching her eyebrows myself. She will look so much better. Her eyebrows are wild and cover her entire forhead. Should I use regular tweezers or do they have baby tweezers for this? Help please!

Hi there.
I understand that it must make you feel bad when people react in a negative way to your precious little girl. Just think how mothers must feel when they have a baby that actually does have some sort of abnormality, one that does not go away. If your little baby does have an abnormal amount of hair from her eyebrows I bet it will fade and disappear as she gets a bit older. Do not try to tweeze her eyebrows. She would scream and cry and wiggle and squirm and you could actually hurt her. She would not understand why you were hurting her. It would be cruel. Please resist the urge to "fix her". It will get better on its own. Hang in there.
Just love her for the precious little treasure that she is and don't pay any attention to the behavior of ignorant people who do not matter in your life anyway!
You are a mother now and mothers never hurt their babies for stupid reasons. It is hard enough to hurt them when it must be done, like for shots and things. Please leave her eyebrows alone.
Blessings

You're thinking of arching the eyebrows of your 3 week-old baby just because your "friends" (?) snicker!? Are you INSANE?!
Unless you gave birth in a field, I'm sure your baby has been seen by a pediatrician. If it's as wild as you say it is, have the doctor take a look at her eyebrows and ask for his professional advice.
And the next time somebody makes fun of your daughter, politely show them the door and tell them they're welcome to visit again when they can act in a more Christian manner.
Sounds like they have hair on the brain!

Are you crazy?! That poor baby has just gone through the trauma of being born and you want to inflict more pain on her?! No! Don't tweeze the eyebrows! Newborns usually lose a little bit of the body hair they were born with, so just wait and see what happens, but don't *even* think about going towards that little girl with tweezers! Be a mom and stand up for your kid. Tell those jerks to shut the f*ck up and stop paying attention to what they think. She's three weeks old, and you already want to make her conform to society's view of beauty?! Just leave that poor baby alone!

Don't do anything to them. Babies are all different, some cutier then others, some funnier looking then others but they are all beautiful to the parents and thats all that matters. Me, I was laughed at all the time as a baby, cause I was bald as can be, everyone commented about me cause my eyes were so big, and my head was bald. There was even a lady that came up to my mother and took one look at me and said "wow aren't babies ugly now adays". Its a baby, they have their own look, my nephew had such hairy eyebrows, there was no separation, he had one instead of two, hes 4 now, and his face has filled out and now he has two eyebrows, they no longer join. So no leave your child alone, when people comment about her eyebrows, just look back at them and say "shes beautiful isn't she". Who cares if she has bushy eyebrows, shes still beautiful.

Are you mad????? Don't do that!!!!! The baby's skin is very sensitive, you must NOT pull hairs out. This will cause serious irritation and it can cause swelling and hurt your baby's eyes!!! Let alone the excruciating pain! She will be screaming and you will keep plucking? Even my eyes get swollen when I pluck my eyebrows, you can't do that to the baby!!! My God, I would put the kid in foster care if a mother did this to her! Nature knows best and you should love your baby for what she is. You don't have kids to cover your need for praise by others!! Forget what rude people say, and let your daughter grow up. What will you do when she is 6 months old and has beautiful round cheeks? Liposuction?

You care more about someone's snickering and looks, than inflicting excruciating pain as well as opening up pores to infection, on your own baby daughter. If you are tired of their snickering, and want to do something about it, don't invite them over anymore and get new friends. Since your question was outrageous I will also provide an equally outrageous retort, give up your baby for adoption and get your tubes tied, because as is self evident you do not possess the common sense and unconditional love required to be a good mother.

your baby is still very young. most newborns are very hairy and you will find that over the course of the next several months her hair will change. really babies are babies and they are not meant to be subjects of beauty. they are who they are and will look like they are supposed to . let her be a cute little baby with bushy eyebrows and tell people to stop hating on americas next top model. you should not be affected by what people have to say about your baby. she should always be beautiful in your eyes no matter what. when she is older then you can think about her eyebrows.

Honey, don't be so vain. Babies start losing alot of their facial hair by 3 month. Just wait a while and see if that happens. When someone laughs....don't take offense, I mean you even notice it you said. She is your baby and you should love her and not care what anyone says about her. Be strong and don't let those comments affect you. Come back with something like "I know, I think they are cute...." That way you can let them see that you are not going to join them in laughing at your own child.

People are always making comments about others baby's. "Oh their head is huge" or "Wow they are fat" or whatever. Your baby is special because you made her. Her bushy eyebrows are a from your genes, or her father's. You should be proud of her and not embaressed. Leave the poor baby alone. She will grow into them and be even more beautiful!

Are u really that shallow? Seriously I hope not. The hair will probably not remain, so many things will change. The pigment of the baby will even change. You are exaggerating a little hair wont hurt and its bothering you more than baby. leave baby alone
