When it is possible to comb a newborn – newborn hair care
[b]Is it possible to comb a newborn[/b]
This question is usually asked by young mothers after the birth of a baby: after all, it is initially unknown whether he will have hair. A baby born with a head of hair is far from the most common occurrence. Most newborns are bald, and their parents wait a long time for the first hairs to appear. That is why even those who carefully prepare for the birth of a child do not always think about the means and ways to care for his thin ones, but (it happens!) very thick hair.
Immediately after giving birth, doctors wipe the original lubricant from the baby (although in some modern maternity hospitals this is no longer done). And mom gets a clean baby in her arms. However, if he has hair, it may be stuck together, there may be pieces of original grease and even dried blood on them. As a rule, it is possible to clean and tidy the baby's head only at home – during the first bath. Pediatricians and nurses caring for children in the hospital will tell inexperienced parents that it is necessary to comb a curly baby (the first hairstyle is after discharge from the hospital, after bathing), but for this you will need special baby hair care products.
[b]The first comb[/b]
A comb and a brush for newborns are not essential items. And, as a rule, they are acquired after the birth of a child. They should be made of high-quality materials (a newborn's hair brush should have natural soft bristles), designed for small children. Do not save money and do not purchase adult combs, do not adapt items that are not intended for this purpose (for example, toothbrushes) to the needs of caring for children's hair! The head of a newborn baby is quite vulnerable (there are areas on it that are not covered by the bones of the skull – fontanelles), and the hair and scalp of the baby also require a gentle attitude from adults. Special brushes for newborn hair (namely, they will be useful in the first days and even months of a child's life – leave a comb with rounded ends on the teeth for later) are particularly soft, do not injure the delicate scalp, do not put pressure on the fontanelles.
[b]How to comb a newborn[/b]
The first thing to do is to process the baby's hair brush. Scald it with boiling water and leave it to dry (or, as recommended in the instructions, blow dry it). You only need to process the brush in this way for the first time, but you should wash it at least once a month (natural bristles get dirty from the baby's hair, dead skin particles accumulate on it). It is convenient to wash the brush with baby soap or baby shampoo.
Next, use a clean brush to comb the baby's hair easily (without excessive pressure on the scalp). You can comb his soft, supple hair any way you feel comfortable. For example, in the heat, it will be more pleasant for the baby if the hair on the sides is combed back, and the hair on the back of the head is raised (in this case, they will not fall into the neck crease and will not cause unpleasant sensations).
[b]Why comb a newborn and an infant[/b]
The baby's hair is still not as tangled as in adults. So, maybe you shouldn't torture the child and yourself at all and give up the unnecessary procedure for caring for him? Attentive parents will notice that even the most curly-haired children from birth, sooner or later their hair starts to come out. They sort of "wipe themselves" on a mattress or pillow. Combing will prevent the fine hair that has fallen out from getting into the mouth, eyes and neck folds of the crumbs. A light massage of the baby's scalp will contribute to a faster restoration of the hairline.
