Thanks yes everyone is mentioning cradle
Cap. I have been using coconut oil and a special cradle cap brush to deal with it. So
To the woman who said “you better deal with cradle cap instead” who I find quite rude can keep her comment to herself. Also I have seen many picture of cradle cap and my darling girl doesn’t have it half as bad.
Is it just me or does anyone else find people on mumnset incredibly rude and bully like?

It looks blonde, maybe a bit strawberry. The cradle cap isn't that bad at all and completely normal.

DS had ginger hair when he was born, then it became even more ginger before a beautiful strawberry blond and I couldn’t bear to cut it. Now it’s fading to brown. I suspect you will have a ginger then strawberry blond toddler. They do look sweet with ginger hair

Brown maybe

It's a lovely shade of cradle cap. I'd be more worried about sorting that, as its took us 5 plus years!

cautiouscovidity · 08/02/2021 19:02

It's really hard to tell on a young baby with not much hair but I'd say light brown to be honest.

Whatever colour it is now, it'll almost certainly change over the next few years.

Peacenquiet2 · 08/02/2021 18:58

I have 3 dc, first was born with ginger hair and is now most definitely a blond, second born with ginger hair and is now a lively Auburn, third born ginger and is blond like first dc, so it changes as time goes on

My son was born with dark blond hair. He's two now and his hair is so ginger it's almost fluorescent, it's brilliant! None of our immediate family have red hair.

Itsokthanks · 08/02/2021 18:16

Light brown with a bit of red.
Why do you ask?

UnusuallyUsual · 08/02/2021 18:12

It's hard to say with the cradle cap. The baby's hair will change colour in the next few months anyway...

Lelophants · 08/02/2021 18:05

Neither? Baby hair is an odd mixed colour. Most redheads I know have no hair for the first year.

Nellephant · 08/02/2021 17:44

We thought DD was ginger (which would have been odd as neither dp nor I are), turns out it was cradle cap Grin

Mouse.

timetest · 08/02/2021 17:11

It looks brown to me. Both my daughters were born with a fine head of light brown hair which turned to blonde by the time they were about 6 months.

viixie · 08/02/2021 17:08

Brown

MisiSam · 08/02/2021 17:04

I think it looks light ginger, it's very pretty! I don't think it looks brown, my friends baby was this colour and now she is one and she had dark red hair , it's beautiful.

Merename · 08/02/2021 16:10

My daughter who has ginger hair was quite similar to that as a baby. You could really tell in the light but indoors it looked more browny. Her eyebrows are fair, kind of non existent, but she’s most definitely red. My other is a browny auburn and it was her eyebrows that confirmed it, if that makes sense. In both cases it was a long while before it was clear what their hair they would have.

SendMeHome · 08/02/2021 16:08

I’d say light brown too. It’s not blonde or ginger.

clpsmum · 08/02/2021 16:08

Does it matter?

Affectation · 08/02/2021 16:07

It looks like my DDs baby hair. She's blonde.

ShirleyPhallus · 08/02/2021 16:04

Strawberry blonde is just a way of saying ginger for weirdos who think there's something wrong with red hair

This isn’t true at all, strawberry blonde is a different colour to ginger, which is a beautiful colour in its own right
