1. How to wash?
Babies are usually born bald or with fluff onhead. Shaggy babies are quite rare. The skin of newborns is very delicate, and the hair follicles are shallow. The mother's task is not to damage them. “We gently wash my head with a special shampoo for babies,” our expert instructs. - Some people think it will do. But no! Soap has a more aggressive effect, it easily dries out the skin and hair. In the first weeks, the baby forms crusts on the head. Some mothers get scared: what is this unknown disease? No panic is the child's reaction to the new environment. They will disappear very soon. To make this happen sooner, before bathing, lubricate the baby's head with baby oil and gently comb out the crusts with a dull-toothed comb. An important point - in no case should they be torn off! "
