She picked my baby's cradle cap!

[fishcake84]

Friend round for lunch, she kindly played with 10 month old DS while I did a few quick bits round the house. When she was leaving I picked DS up to bring him to the doorway to wave her off and had a good look at his noggin - an area of his cradle cap (where it was thickest and most exciting!) has been meticulously picked off!

AIBU to have been looking forward to doing that myself?! Surely as his mother that is my prerogative?!

yes I know you are not supposed to do that in case it gets infected but ffs

I'm not squeamish generally but cradle cap makes me want to vom.....

This is cradle cap my dear friends.

DD2 had the most amazingly long-lived cradle-cap. It went on for over 3 years.

Still, now we get nits on a regular basis (thanks school). They'll probably have them once if not twice by half term. I pull out the eggs and crush them between my nails. The click is quite satisfying. The live ones (for the couple of days before I vamousse them) get the same treatment.
