What is the ideal shampoo for your baby?

Bath time is a special moment for parents, who take care of their child. However, it is often dreaded during the first month. Parents worry that their baby might get cold or even slip, covered in soap, during the journey from the changing table to the bathtub. It is important to carefully follow safety instructions during bath time.

The choice of products is fundamental to respect the child’s skin. While daily bathing is essential, the liquid soap should be hypoallergenic and particularly gentle.

Choose a gentle shampoo suitable for the child’s scalp

Most parents, during the first months, prefer a hair and body wash gel. Given the few hairs a baby has on their head, this is usually sufficient. However, some children have a real head of hair, which requires the use of a shampoo.

It is convenient to use our 2-in-1 shampoo. With its detangling action, this sodium sulfate-free shampoo can even be used by the whole family.

Can you use a hair dryer on a newborn? It is possible, as long as you keep it at a distance from the baby’s head and ears and select the cool or warm air setting.

How often should you shampoo your baby’s hair?

While it is strongly recommended for adults to space out shampoos and reduce them to 2 or 3 times a week, a child’s hair can be washed every day. Infants sweat a lot. In addition, many children have cradle cap on their scalp.

What is cradle cap? It has nothing to do with the child’s milk consumption; this type of skin problem is linked to the presence of pregnancy hormones in the baby’s body, which leads to the production of sebum. As it dries, cradle cap forms and appears as a red patch, along with skin flaking, similar to dandruff.

Our gentle shampoo is enriched with organic calendula to soothe irritation and significantly reduce the formation of cradle cap. It is effective for healing external skin lesions (except open wounds).
