### **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.
