My DD is 2.3 and still has cradle cap across the top of her head. Dentinox, olive oil, Bio oil, vaseline all have not helped. I am now trying Oilatum shampoo (I bought it in Boots). I have only used it twice, but I think it is working .

I do a week of applying vaseline every night before bed, hair wash in the morning with baby shampoo and gently scrub the affected`area with a baby toothbrush, then comb the hair with a fine comb. Recomended by my GP. It always works for my kids, my ds who is 7 still gets it sometimes, it doesn't stop it coming back, but it knocks it on the head (sorry unintentional pun Blush). The hair will grow back, don't worry.
