Hey Mel,

Brayden didn't even have any cradle cap until he reached 2 months old.. I'm thinking.. huh?? why now?? It all of a sudden appeared out of no where! I got some of the Cradle Cap Care lotion from Gentle Naturals at walmart and after I gave him a bath I put it on his little head and let it sit on there for a little while, then used a very fine tooth comb and combed it out. Surprisingly he fell asleep by me doing that. It must have felt good? It took me a while and his hair looked hideous with all the flakes in it afterward, but so far so good! If I notice some I just do the same all over again. But keep in mind that the lotion has to be washed out afterwards. I just lay him on a folded up blanket and wash his head using very soaked wash cloths and maybe pour some water on too.

Good Luck.. I know I hated seeing it too!! It drove me crazy!!

what I have heard....(and did on my ds, and it worked) was use baby oil. you rub it in their hair and use a fine tooth comb and comb it off, and of course you have to wash the hair afterward.

Michael had it first on his eyebrows, I didn't even know what it was until it showed up on his scalp too... It went away from the eyebrows but some redness stayed there, especially in between his eyebrows.  His eyebrows get red when he cries or is tired. It looks like a rush and it has been there for approx two months.  That bothers me more than the cradle cap.  The cradle cap is still there but it's not that bad.  I decided to just leave it there.

Anybody has the eyebrow one???

My daughter has the eyebrow one too. I just wipe it with a wet wash cloth. It seems to be going away now. I never put anything on it because it is so close to her eyes.

put some baby oil a drop and then brush the hair with the baby oil in it it comes right out

I forgot to ask this... Does the cradle cap smell?? Michael's head smells good only after a shampoo his hair.  He sweats a lot through his head but I think that smell has something to do with the cradle  cap.
