My brother and sister-in-law are adopting a biracial (African American %26amp; Caucasian) baby in December. Since they are both Caucasian, I%26#039;m afraid that they will assume that washing his hair daily would be ok, but I know that%26#039;s not the case.
So, do you know of any good books that would explain how caring for their child%26#039;s skin and hair will be different than caring for their own?|||Such as a book I wouldn%26#039;t know but from personal experience of having my own biracial baby I would tell you not to wash his hair every day. If he is an infant and he gets cradle cap I used to use a small amount of baby oil then the soft baby brush and use circular motions to get rid of the dry skin. When he gets older I would suggest Aloe Vera polishing treatment(Its just aloe liquefied in a convenient bottle). It is clear and you can find it in a beauty supply store. It nourishes the hair but won%26#039;t leave it greasy. Also tell them to stay away from water based products because this actually will dry the hair out. Good Luck on finding a book! And it%26#039;s wonderful they are adopting a biracial baby (they are the most beautiful in the world!!
