Atlanta, GA (MMD Newswire) January 6, 2008 -- An enterprising stay-at-home mother of two is debuting her first invention, the Infant Hair Protector, at the Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Market in Atlanta, Ga., at the AmericasMart's Children’s World Building 3, Floor 3, Booth 1208 on January 9-13 (Friday-Monday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Tuesday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.). Victoria McGee Walton invented the Infant Hair Protector after both of her babies developed unsightly bald spots. The Infant Hair Protector is a 100 percent satin headrest that can be used in cribs, bouncers, swings, car seats, carriers, strollers, toddler beds and bassinets to help prevent infant baldness. The product is made from satin, which minimizes breakage and shedding of an infant’s hair, allowing the hair to re-grow while preventing further balding.

“I was shocked when my first child, who was born with a full head of hair, developed a large, ugly bald spot on the back of her head,” said Walton. “When my second baby developed the same problem, I started asking pediatricians and other mothers if any other babies had the same problem, and I found that this is a concern for almost all parents.”

During the first stages of life, infants spend on average 16-20 hours a day sleeping. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, infants should be placed on their back to minimize the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), but this practice frequently causes a bald spot to appear on the back of an infant’s head, especially if an infant’s hair and scalp are dry. The Infant Hair Protector is designed to reduce the amount of friction that causes breakage and shedding of infants’ hair, thus preventing the common bald spot that often occurs

About
Baby Walton, LLC was founded by Victoria McGee Walton, a stay-at-home mom who developed the Infant Hair Protector after both of her babies experienced infant baldness. Walton searched for a solution to prevent infant baldness when her first baby developed an unsightly bald spot on the back of her head, but no products were available on the market. Walton consulted her pediatrician, family and friends and realized that infant baldness is a common problem for nearly all babies. After her second baby developed a similar bald spot, she realized she had to create a solution herself, and the Infant Hair Protector was born. Within 30 days her baby’s hair was restored. Now the Infant Hair Protector satin headrest is available to parents everywhere. To learn more about the Infant Hair Protector, visit www.babywalton.com
