The most recommended baby shampoo is Aveeno Baby Wash and Shampoo, Pipette Baby Shampoo, Baby magic Gentle hair and body wash, CVS health baby wash and shampoo and Johnson's Sensitive care baby body wash and shampoo.
A typical hospital will wash your newborn baby in Johnson & Johnson's baby shampoo.
Most babies will only need their hair washed two or three times per week, although it's okay if the baby needs their hair washed a bit more often.
You'll know when your baby's hair is dirty and could do with a wash.
If the baby's hair doesn't need shampooing, you don't need too, just gently rinse their head with water and a soft flannel.
Even if your baby suffers from cradle cap, shampoo isn't necessary and might make the problem worse.
A soft oil or moisturizer works far better and won't damage delicate skin.
Until shampoo is used on a baby, their hair does not need it.
Hair adjusts to being washed by shampoo, it strips away natural oils.
It's best to use plain water for newborn babies.
Then you can start using unperfumed baby bath and shampoos from about 4 to 6 weeks, but be careful to only use a little so you don't damage your baby's skin.
Babies with longer hair may need a drop of mild shampoo on wet hair, lathered and rinsed off.
