Poor little dd aged nearly 5 has got really flaky bits on her head :( . I just went through it with a nit comb as I had seen her scratching and was Shock at the thought of nits again...instead there was just a ton of white flakes. Is there such a thing as head n shoulders for small people?

My DS had the most terrible cradle cap when he was a baby, which lasted until he was about 5. I seem to remember it went away of it's own accord, although he is still prone to a bit of dandruff now (he's 16). I don't see why you can't try Head & Shoulders, or ask your chemist what they would recommend?

My sad secret - when he was a baby I found it most satisfying to pick off bits!

I thoroughly enjoyed combing through her hair and seeing the white flaky bits - oh dear, that sounds rather sick...
