Is it ok to use shampoo everyday?

full of hair 7.5month old baby boyIs it ok to use shampoo everyday?
You don't need to use it that much... maybe shampoo once a week.. otherwise just wash it off with the bath water while you are bathing them... too much washing the natural oils from the scalp will cause cradle cap... and you definately don't want that...Is it ok to use shampoo everyday?
Everyday is a bit much. We were doing that with my daughter when she was a few months old and she got cradle cap - shampooing too often realy dries their scalps out. Our daughter is 9 months old and we bathe her everyday, but usually just with plain water, which we run through her hair etc., and sometimes we will use a tiny bit of mild soap on her bottom. We use baby shampoo only once a week and I can really tell a difference when we do, the following day her hair is SOOO dry, so I think once a week is plenty! Their hair really doesn't get that dirty anyways :)
It's unnecessary. You run the risk of drying out their scalp. Every other day is plenty.
baby's dont need it that much
