The shampoo you choose should be very gentle and dedicated specifically to baby care. Some help fight against cradle cap. In the early days, water alone is usually enough to rinse the skin and baby hair. Before immersing your newborn in the bath water, hold it on your arm by supporting your neck and rinse your scalp with your free hand over the bath.

Use a few drops shampoo only for a baby older than a few weeks, and massage the scalp at the beginning of the bath. Leave it on while you soap the rest of the body. Rinse with the help of a bowl or a small bottle the clear water baby's hair being careful not to pour into his eyes.
