Bamboo Switch — Bamboo Baby Hairbrush

Soft natural bristles for a newborn's scalp.

A baby's scalp is thin and easily irritated, and cradle cap is common in the first months. Gentle daily brushing with soft natural bristles helps loosen flakes, spreads the skin's own oils and calms most babies down at bedtime. This brush has a smooth bamboo handle and a full pad of soft bristles, with no plastic or synthetic fiber touching the skin.

It is light enough to keep in the diaper bag and looks right in a newborn gift basket.

Who this is for

• Newborns and infants, from the first week on
• Cradle cap that you want to loosen without picking
• Parents avoiding plastic against a baby's skin
• A baby shower gift that will actually get used

• Brush gently over hair and scalp in short strokes
• Hand wash with warm water and mild soap, do not submerge, air dry fully
• 7 by 2 inches, 1 inch bristles. Bamboo handle, natural bristles
