Cradle Cap is a condition where the skin on the scalp becomes crusty or scaly, and it can be frustrating for parents as it can be tricky to treat effectively. We recommend the Pourty Cradle Cap Massage Brush, designed to loosen dry and flaky skin, and this can be used in conjunction with a carefully formulated oil to help soothe and moisturise the scalp to reduce the likelihood of the problem recurring. We also love the Tommee Tippee Essentials Baby Brush and Comb Set, which is ideal for gently looking after your baby’s hair.
Cutting your baby’s fingernails and toenails can be a worry for parents and baby nail clippers are a great choice. We stock Nuk Baby Nail Clippers, as well as Tommee Tippee Baby Nail Clippers to make the process of cutting tiny nails easier, or you may prefer Nuk Baby Scissors if you find it hard to use nail clippers. It is important to cut nails straight across and avoid jagged edges to protect nails from catching or tearing, and it is often a good idea to cut your baby’s nails when they are sleeping so that they are not distressed by the process.
Teaching your babies and children good dental habits is vital and you can show how important it is to brush your teeth and gums twice a day when you model this for your little ones. We have a selection of toothbrushes for babies, including the Nuk Training Toothbrush Set, and you can choose the age appropriate option and get started early. We recommend using a toothpaste that is especially designed for babies, and it’s also helpful to take your baby along to the dentist with you when you visit so that they become familiar with the process.
