### **1. **Gentle Shampoo**
- Use a mild, baby-specific shampoo that's free from harsh chemicals and fragrances.
- Look for shampoos that are specifically formulated to help with dandruff or dry scalp.
### **2. **Regular Washing**
- Wash your baby's hair regularly, but not too frequently, to avoid stripping natural oils. Once or twice a week is usually sufficient.
### **3. **Scalp Massage**
- Gently massage the scalp with your fingertips while shampooing to help loosen flakes and improve circulation.
### **4. **Moisturize**
- Use a gentle, baby-safe conditioner if the hair and scalp seem dry.
- Consider applying a small amount of coconut oil or baby oil to the scalp before washing, which can help loosen flakes.
### **5. **Avoid Irritants**
- Avoid using adult shampoos or products that may contain harsh ingredients or fragrances.
### **6. **Consult a Pediatrician**
- If dandruff persists or is severe, consult your pediatrician for recommendations and to rule out any underlying conditions.
### **Additional Tips:**
- Ensure your baby’s hairbrush or comb is clean and use it gently.
- Maintain a clean and healthy environment to avoid exposure to irritants.
Regularly caring for your baby’s scalp and hair with gentle products can help manage and reduce dandruff effectively.
