How do you get hair bows to stay in?

DD yanks them out and puts them in her mouth every time we try to put them in. ?We try to be sneaky about it... during diaper changes, etc, and even if she doesn't notice us put it in, if she bends over, she usually notices (the bow or the hair not in her eyes) and goes looking. ?

?

Any tricks or bows you like? ?I don't have no slippies.. but she'll yank her own hair out now to get them so I'm not sure that will work. ?Should we keep trying, or should we let her rest a couple of months? ?Thanks!?

    DD always pulled hers out, then magically one day it just stopped.

    Even now, she pulls them out during naps or sometimes in the car b/c she likes to play with her hair when she's sleepy. We don't do bows, just small ponytail holders and barrettes to keep her hair out of her eyes.

    Keep putting them in if you like, but you might make sure it's not something she could choke on. I'm sure DD has swallowed at least 1 ponytail holder in her life!

    I'm interested in seeing the responses to this as my DD does the exact same thing! ?Her bangs just hang down in her eyes if they aren't pinned back because they're at that awkward stage right now. ?I'm going to keep putting them in, but I feel like I'm constantly putting them back in or checking to make sure she's not putting it in her mouth after pulling it out. ?GL and let me know if you find something that works!

    DD pulled them out for a while but I kept telling her how pretty they were and now she asks for them.  She only pulled on them for a short time before she went back to letting me put them in. 

    I make clips so the ones I make stay in her hair pretty well, even when she used to tug.

    DD does the exact same thing. I also make clips so they are in there pretty good and she still pulls them out. Has she is pulling it out she is making a face like "this hurts!", but she continues to do it again and again. So now basically we only put them in when we go somewhere and we have to wait until we get to our destination to even put them in.

    I'll use this as a shameless plug for my etsy store (itsybitsybowtique.etsy.com).  They stay really well, even in fine or minimal hair.  I'm going to add more styles this weekend.
