Babies without hair reminds me of turtles


What the photos don't show is what happened in between.
Half-way into shaving her head, Farizah felt very uncomfortable and let out the most distressing cry we have ever heard. We ended up using a new triple blade shaver to hasten the process. The trimmer was as useful as an old toothbrush without a handle. We quickly lathered up her head and shouted at our own hands for not being able to do the job any quicker.
A quick look-up in google tells us that Farizah has cradle cap, a common form of dermatitis on the scalp of newborns, which should subside in a couple of weeks.
I swear, if I was given a stopwatch to measure my pulse, I could just count the poundings within my skull.
