My ds (10 weeks) had a little patch of dryness of his head and in his eyebrows for a little while. I was putting a bit of olive oil on it (as HV suggested). It hasn't cleared up, in fact it has spread and I now am certain it is cradle cap.
I have only bathed him with water since birth (I am quite sensitive so haven't wanted to use any products on him in case he is too). I have read baby shampoo used regularly can prevent cradle cap - is there any truth in that?
Any tips on clearing it up before it gets too bad? I have just started oiling it at night, brushing with soft brush this morning and washed it with a teeny bit of baby wash. I suppose as he is my PFB I am looking for reassurances that I am doing the right thing!
