[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my pediatrician's reccomendation, I put baby oil on my son's head 20 minutes before his bath and gently brushed his scalp at bath time to loosen the flakes. I then wahsed his hair as usual. After doing this a few times, it was gone.[/quote] I had success with this approach. First oil (to soften the crud and loosen it from the scalp), then bath. My ped recommended a soft bristled toothbrush and that worked fabulously. Then wash his head well to get off the oil (if you just oil w/o washing, you're going to clog up the scalp and keep the cradle cap coming back). Don't just pick without softening first![/quote]
