Dettol in bathing water
Hi. Is it fine to put liquid Dettol in baby's bathing water? She is 1 year old. Also should I shampoo her hair (daily) whenever she takes bath? Thank you.

No dettol... once or twice weekly shampoo is sufficient

Yes you may use Dettol while bathing. Head shampoo on alternate days should suffice.
