Head shave for boy baby in the 9 Th month is ritual, hence is it safe to do? Because of soft spot I am worried. Please suggest what kind of blade or shaver has to be used for 9th month baby.

You can shave just be very careful about the blade and hygiene ..also do apply dettol or savalon diluted on the scalp.. Do not apply too much of sandalwood after the shave as in some rituals .. causes too much cold
