Happy Cappy was developed with children’s delicate skin in mind. For a newborn, or when you are unsure what is causing a rash, ask your pediatrician which product and routine fit your baby before starting a medicated treatment.

Use the washes gently and keep them away from the eyes. If a rash worsens or does not improve with regular use, check with your child’s doctor. Our cradle cap guide explains what to look for and when to get help.
