A. Yes, you can comb a baby's hair if they are less than 1 year old. Here are some tips for doing so safely: ### **1. **Use a Soft Brush or Comb** - **Gentle Bristles**: Opt for a soft-bristled brush or a wide-toothed comb to avoid irritating the baby’s sensitive scalp. ### **2. **Be Gentle** - **Soft Strokes**: Brush or comb the hair gently to avoid pulling or hurting the baby’s scalp. ### **3. **Regular Combing** - **Routine**: Regular combing can help manage tangles and promote a healthy scalp. It can also be a soothing routine for the baby. ### **4. **Hair Care Products** - **Mild Shampoo**: Use a mild, baby-friendly shampoo and conditioner if needed to keep the hair clean and manageable. ### **5. **Monitor for Discomfort** - **Observe Reactions**: Pay attention to your baby’s reactions. If they seem uncomfortable or upset, try to soothe them and make sure the comb or brush is not causing irritation. Combing a baby's hair is generally safe and can be part of your regular grooming routine. If you have specific concerns or notice any scalp issues, consult your pediatrician.
