[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why do you need to get rid of cradle cap?? is it harmful? I just leave it alone.[/quote] Not at all harmful. I actually found it weird that at pediatrician visits for both my babies, the pediatrician gave me unsolicited advice on getting rid of the cradle crap (our family name for it). It's solely an aesthetic issue. Doesn't harm baby at all. And you should definitely NOT pick at it to the point where there is ooze and you need Neosporin as a PP said-- that's not good. Just give it some time. It goes away on its own, though when it gets loose and dandruffy you can oil/toothbrush it off. All the babies in our family have it, and it seems genetic; for some reason, none of my (spouse's) South Asian relatives nor my South American friends seem to have ever seen it before.[/quote]
