I never used it on my son. I use it to make homemade baby wipes but that's it.
I never thought of that for cradle cap! That's good to know. My son had that til he was like 3! Mreeah- it's like this crusty scaly stuff that alot of babies get under their hair on their scalp. Kind of like dandruff but way worse.
I use it in my baths on days I shave... lol on baby I dont really use it but that's just me. :-) Don't worry about asking questions either. How else can you learn? :-)
Baby oil is for a small amount to use on baby's hair to prevent cradle cap and to add moisture. rub a little bit of baby oil in your hands then apply to babies hair. Brush it daily. Use once every two weeks.
