Baby bath cap?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
During the newborn period, special bath caps (shampoo caps) are not necessary for babies. The use of a bath cap or shampoo protector in baby bathing is generally aesthetic or for the parent's comfort, not a medical necessity.
If you want to use one, you can pay attention to these criteria:
- Material: Should be soft silicone or foam, should not irritate the baby's scalp.
- Fit: Should sit loosely from forehead to back, not tight; if too tight, it causes discomfort.
- Size: Generally made for 3-24 months; there are also special designs for newborns.
But remember: babies already reflexively close their eyes against water splashing into them. Lukewarm water and gentle washing technique are often more practical than a cap. When you wash your baby's head by tilting it back, the water minimally reaches their face.
