So... I kinda made some of Knox's hair fall out. !! I was giving him a bath and used the scrubby hair brush they used in the NICU to try to banish some of his cradle cap flakes, and it apparently made his hair thinner. I feel horrible! Granted, he still has a head full, but now it's way thicker in the back than it is on top. He's like a tiny old man with a thinning mullet. Poor baby, his mommy sabotaged his cool do. I will definitely be exercising restraint from now on when I scrub his little head!

He could just be loosing his newborn hair? I think it was loose to begin with. Your a great mommy.
it happens to all of momma's...no harm done.
Massage baby oil on his scalp first then use the soft baby brush(while the baby oil is still in his hair) and the flakes will lossen and fall right out....then wash his hair with baby shampoo
you crack me up!
LOL no worries it will come back..I did something very simailar with out little guy!
Nick had awful cradle cap, we used this special shampoo for a month and it was gone... It smells great too! I bought it at BRU and it's online also... called Mustela.

Product Description
Extremely mild and does not sting the eyes, Mustela™ Foam Shampoo for Newborns is specially formulated to prevent and treat cradle cap. This innovative formula gently cleanses scalp while respecting its fragile balance. The mild exfoliating action of AHA's helps soften and rinse away cradle cap flakes. Its anionic surfactants help eliminate the excess sebum which favorizes the appearance of cradle cap while totally respecting the hydrolipidic film of the newborn's scalp. Convenient pump packaging dispenses a self-foaming shampoo.
Just some advise from a benn there done that Mom!

I did the same thing with that brush. He was born with so much hair that a week later half was gone. Poor baby. It will all grow back. :)
