How do you get rid of lice on a baby?

How to Treat Head Lice in Infants and Babies.

1. Use a lice treatment shampoo or cream specifically designed for babies and infants. These products are usually gentler and less likely to cause irritation.

2. Follow the directions on the lice treatment product label carefully. This will help ensure that the treatment is effective and safe.

3. Wash the baby's hair thoroughly and apply the lice treatment. Make sure to follow the instructions on the product's label for how long to leave the treatment in.

4. Rinse the baby's hair thoroughly. Use warm water and a gentle shampoo.

5. Use a lice comb to remove any remaining lice and eggs (nits). Start at the front of the head and work your way back, section by section.

6. Repeat the lice treatment and combing process after 7-10 days. This will help ensure that all the lice and eggs are gone.

7. Check the baby's head regularly for lice and eggs for several weeks. If you find any, repeat the treatment process.
