[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We used "cradle cap care" - it is in the baby shampoo section.  Its a bright aqua bottle with winnie the pooh characters on the front.  used it once and the cradle cap never came back - amazing!  (This was after several attempts with baby or olive oil.[/quote]

Ditto this.  Used it 1x for DD1 and 1x for DD2.  Bottle is still mostly full.  Any takers?[/quote]

Also used this and still have most of it!  Tried baby oil first and it didn't do much - other than take forever to get out of DS's hair.  I did put this cradle cap shampoo on his head and let it sit for awhile before combing and then rinsing it out.  I have to admit, though, that DS's hair got really really thick around 18 months and I started noticing really bad cradle cap again when he was two.  It was hard to see unless I really parted his hair and looked at his scalp so I let it go for a long time.  Eventually I used head and shoulders a couple times and it went away.  And then started to come back.  I read about it being from oil glands and realized that Aveeno baby wash that I had been using on his whole body - including hair - probably wasn't cutting it, at least to get his scalp clean.  Once I started using regular shampoo on him twice a week I got much better and haven't seen it since.[/quote]
