No matter how much adorable they look, headbands are not recommended to be used for a longer period of time. This is because it can cause damage to the baby’s hair root and even cause hair loss if used all the time. Tight headbands can also cause a slight dent in the baby’s head as newborn heads are soft. Also, never put on headbands on your baby‘s head while they’re sleeping or without any supervision. It can slip down to their throat and cause suffocation.
