cleanse and soothe with
organic baby shampoo

Your baby’s hair doesn’t need to be washed every day. In fact, it’s best if it’s not. Shampooing every day can dry out the scalp and lead to dandruff and other scalp conditions. Some baby shampoos can have the same effect as over-washing, even if used infrequently. This is why it is important to use gentle, natural organic baby shampoo such as this one from Aubrey Organics. It cleanses gently, while almond oil, camomile and balm-mint soothe and hydrate baby's hair and scalp.

Cradle cap is a condition many babies develop anywhere from the first to the sixth month after birth. It is recognizable by a yellow crust that looks a bit like dandruff. Although it is a harmless condition, it can be avoided by using natural products.

If cradle cap does develop, make sure you don’t over-treat it. A natural instinct may be to shampoo it away, but this just aggravates the problem. Instead, massage a small amount of organic baby oil into the scalp. After about an hour, cleanse the baby’s head with an organic cotton baby washcloth and warm water. Then gently brush the baby’s hair and let the condition heal naturally.
