How to get rid off

[Gorgeousgirl21]

My baby is 8 days old with head lice. How do i get rid of them????

COCONUT OIL! Its safe and kills it instantly. You'll have to get a comb and remove the lice and eggs. Coconut oil will also prevent them as well. Seriously its even better than buying the treatment. Just apply to everyone's head (make sure the scalp and hair is completely coated with oil) in the house and leave in for about an hr before you comb the head to remove lice. After you can wash your hair and re-apply the oil and leave in. It might look bad but they won't come back. They can't live in coconut oil. Also every morning throw all the bedding in the dry, car seats, pillows, jackets, shirts everything! At least 30 min. At a time. :) hope all works out!

I wasn't trying to attack or scare anyone just said what happened to me. Everyone acts like cps workers are so evil, they are not. In fact many are very helpful, as in my case as previously stated she was able to offer insight to not only get rid of but keep away as well. As long as parents we are meeting the needs of our child/children. There is no need to fear cps. They are aware people make false claims against others for many different reasons. Most cps workers (yes there are some bad, like all professions) want to help and have resources to help. To the momma who asked this question: you are seeking guidance and assistance,that alone shows you are doing what's best for your child. As mothers we all need that. I wish u and ur baby the best.

But I do think you should take baby to Dr. If CPS is called then I wouldn't worry too much if you're confident in your caring for your baby because they won't do anything if you're doing what you should.

I think that the women who have stated that CPS could get involved are not trying to scare you, I think they just want you to know that they might get involved. It has nothing to do with you being a good or bad mother, and if you're a good mom then CPS might investigate but they won't actually do anything so you shouldn't worry.

Don't be so quick to bash the women saying CPS might get involved, they are just letting you know. They never said you neglected your child, they never said you are a bad mother. Reports can be filed on completely innocent mother's. It doesn't mean anything will happen, they are just trying to help.
I think everyone on this app needs to be more open minded as far as how to take what is posted.
We are all here to help. Let's enjoy being pregnant together and help when we can. Nothing harsh was meant!

Ive never ever had lice and at school when it was rife I was actually the one getting teased if anyone cus I must have dirty hair... its a fact they lay in clean hair... although mine was fine just to be clear. I feel extremely sorry for this lady having to deal with this on a tiny baby whilst also dealing witb the crazy emotions of having just had a baby. Its a shame she now has to deal with all these judgemenral comments. None of us know the situation.

Lice will not go to live in someones hair tht isnt clean most ppl know tht already. I just got out of high school and like 2 yrs ago we had an epidemic at our grade school of head lice like 10 kids a day wer getting sent home for having lice. Just goes to show u how easy it is for ANYONE to get. EVEN BABIES!! as long as you get it taken care of nothing like dcfs or anything should happen. Living conditions dont matter when it comes to lice as long as they have clean hair to live in it doesnt matter. I would just use olive oil or cooking oil to smother the lice and just comb it out.
