A. Hi, scratching can be due to dry scalp. Apply coconut oil before bath followed by gentle cleansing with Sebamed baby shampoo.

A. thanks nikita and ranjabati for your answer.. I keep his head moist and always massage with coconut oil but he always scratch his scalp

A. Hi, Its common for babies to do so. In my opinion his scalp could be dry causing itchiness. You can massage the scalp with some good quality baby Hair oil. Mamma Earth has some very helpful organic products. You can check that out. If the baby still continues to do so you can put his hands in baby gloves( mittens) so that the baby doesn't injure the scalp. Hope this helps. Lots of Love
