At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
Keeping your baby clean, healthy and happy in those first few years can be daunting for new parents.
Regular hair brushing helps to tick all three of those boxes. If you've not thought about baby hair hygiene, don't fret, and simply start by investing in a hair brush with soft bristles or a bath proof baby comb.
There is no set age to start brushing your baby's hair, but consistent hair brushing helps to remove the build up of cradle cap. That is why we have carefully selected the top 14 baby hair brushes to make grooming as stress-free as possible.
For more products to keep baby happy and make parents' lives that little bit easier take a look at this list of the best baby sun creams and this round-up of the best baby bottles you can use from birth.
This wooden baby hair brush is our favourite of all baby brushes as it uses soft goat hair bristles, to ensure the gentle brushing of hair. The baby brush is available at a great price while its comfy but sturdy handle promises this item will last. This product is a perfect first hairbrush for your baby - with soothing bristles for their sensitive spots helping to reduce cradle cap.
This Pourty brush from John Lewis is one of the best baby hair brushes for working to eliminate cradle cap in newborns.
