The Mustela Foam Shampoo for Newborns is great to use on bubs hair and scalp. A single pump of foam is enough for the whole head and a bottle can last a long time. It is delicate to use and does not appear to aggravate cradle cap issues. I would recommend it.

We found that this shampoo was so incredibly gentle on our son's hair, but more importantly on his sensitive scalp. A little goes a long way, with the foaming pump you do not need much. It leaves baby or children's hair soft and clean. Lightly scented, but not overpowering. Will use again on our next bub.
