My three month old baby was born with a beautiful head of hair. However, this month she developed a moderate case of cradle cap. Her pediatrician suggested that I use head and shoulders a few times a week, and wash her hair daily for a few weeks. She suggested this regimen because it has migrated to her face and diaper region. She has wavy/ curly hair, and my problem is that her hair is drying out so bad! Has anyone experienced this or can offer me tips or product suggestions to maintain the moisture of her hair while treating her scalp. Help!  -------------

Hi.
My mother told me different things for you to do with the baby's hair.
1. STOP USING THE HEAD AND SHOULDERS NOW. she say its to strong for the baby. But u should use johnson&johnson baby shampoo or try irvoy soap. After washing the baby's hair dry it real good and put a lil baby lotion. She say this should help a lot and also dnt put any baby oil on the hair because all it does is dry out the hair
Hopes thid helps a lil!!! ------------- I'm not gonna give up this time!!! My hair is gonna grow no matter what they say!!! |
