fephas Wooden Silicone Hairbrush for Newborns and Toddlers

I ordered this type of brush for my cats on recommendation of breeders of the breed of cats I have. The quality is excellent and I imagine a baby would enjoy how soft it is. Sadly, I have no baby. My cats love to be brushed with it though it doesn't remove any hair. However, the little silicone scalp brush is the only thing I have found that removes hair from one of my cats. So that was an unexpected surprise since when I bought the brush I had no thought of using the silicone brush for the cats. The wood of the brush is beautiful, the bristles are softer than I would have imagined, and the box it comes in is sturdy for storage of the brush, if needed. The customer service of this company is beyond excellent. I called them directly to ask about something else I wanted that I wasn't able to find on Amazon. Though it wasn't something they normally carried, she was able to not only find the product for me, but she also sent it to me. Every email I sent during the process was replied to within 12 hours, often less. I can't remember the last time I had such incredible customer service.

If you have a fragrance free household like us you'll notice the smell immediately, it's like a wet dog with some fragrance on it to try and cover it. I understand that these brushes are natural goat hair but I don't want to smell the goat and I certainly don't want fragrance on something used on sensitive skin. If you use products with fragrance added then you won't be bothered - It's not an overwhelming smell, but if you need to avoid fragrances and also don't like a musky smelling baby brush then it's a hard pass. I did thoroughly wash the brush in warm soapy water and let it dry to see if it would remove the goat smell and the fragrance but it did not.

After reading so many reviews of this type of brush, I expected that it would shed at least a little. It has not shed at all. My 15 month old granddaughter has thin hair, with just a little curl on the bottom. The brush works nicely on her hair, and is very soft on her head. She likes being brushed, but also uses it to "brush" my hair and her own. I ignore the fact that she often brushes with the back of the brush - she'll learn eventually, lol.

I bought this instead of the very similar Netemia brush because the reviews were better. The brush is super soft and I haven’t found that many bristles fall out. Our two-month-old baby barely notices that I’m using it. However, you should really buy this brush because of the bonus silicone brush. It’s AMAZING! I am trying to nip cradle cap in the bud and the little silicone brush exfoliates gently AND is very good at picking up the little flakes. It also suctions gently to a flat surface, so I can easily store it next to the nursing chair. Highly recommended!

I got this for my infant son when he was in the hospital. He was born with some health issues and spent his first month and a half there. They couldn't fully bath him very often because of all the machines he was hooked to so the small plastic brush was helpful to keep his hair from getting too tangled up from the goop they had to put on his head for different machines. Now that we are home, I use it in the bath. He seems to like it. I imagine it feels like a massage. After his bath he really likes when I use the soft bristle brush. He is starting to reach for things and usually pulls it towards his face to rub it on his cheek. It's adorable!
