Hello,

This is my first time here. This is not a serious question but I would like to know something. My cousin mentioned that if we daily give bath to baby girl with haldi root it will remove body hair in the childhood itself. It can prevent growth in the adulthood. Is that true? I am living in US and with white bathroom floor in rented apartment I don't know how it will be possible to use haldi root daily. Just wanted to know all of your opinion. Sorry this is not a serious health question. I know that my baby girl can use adult products later on. But I have terrible growth and it is a time wasting thing to deal with it daily.

Thank you very much, Teja anita replied. neha, yours is heidetary thats y you had this problem. i had the same prob.my son was born with lots of hair. from 6months i was using the paste of gramflour,turmeric,milk it eventually stopped in 3months. my son does not have exceptional hair growth like mine or my dh.so the hair was gone earlier than we expected.
teja, your baby is 9months, elder than mine. and is almost like toddler. so i think its completely safe. if you have indian dr he will be okay with this remedy.i had indian dr he adviced me to add some chandan oil in this ! he said it will not make him feel irritation if at all it occurs. but i stay in US and its difficult to find chandan oil so i did not use this oil but i used the paste regularly. if you wash your bath tub just after the bath, turmeric will not spoil the tile or the tub.
neha replied. hi teja,
let me give you a very personal example. i had a lot of body hair as a baby as well as my sis. my all this is just like waxing it just temporarily removes hair. my mom did all this haldi etc routine to us till we were 10!!!!!
still have to wax.
ask a doc they will tell you the same.
i have a 3 year old daughter , she had the same problem with loads of body hair. her pediatrician advised us against use of this and said that some of the hair will go on its own for the rest dont do anything to such a small baby. i was very apprehensive, what if the hair did not go . but not my daughter is 31/2 and the hair on the face, back, buttocks,etc has vanished.
try the recipes they are very good for the skin , but youneed not follow them religiously, if you have a problem cleaning the tiles later on. maybe you can do it once in a while.
in my experience giving a massage daily helps a lot. Hetal replied. try bajri flour/millet flour. works best like a sand paper on skin !
often results vary, expected to see by 10 days,of daily use.also might make your skin dry, so make sure you give yourself a good oil massage before bath.a little is enough. when you make a paste of it,you will come to know how much you will need for yourself. a little gentle pressure with a little paste is enough. avoid using more paste at a time, might give you rash.

available in all indian stores and also in some walmart store in flour section.

CANNOT BE USED ON BABY BELOW 2 YEARS. praphulla replied. hi,
i also have a baby girl of 8 months.she is having hair on her forehead and my mother in law says that it will be removed if we use haldi mixed in besan powder and i am doing the same but not regularly due to some problem.did not get results yet.any way u can try as the other day i saw in net that haldi is very good for baby skin and bones.all the best.
