When Baby V was about two months old, cradle cap began to form at the front part of his scalp. It was thick and dry. I bought a bottle of Buds Baby Oil (RM19.90 from Safe ‘n Sound) and our home-visit nurse showed me how to remove his cradle cap. She applied a generous amount …
Mosquitoes love flying into our bedroom, so we prepared ourselves by getting Buds Mozzie Clear Lotion before Baby V’s arrival.
