i have used almost a full bottle of dentinox on dd and cannot shift a patch of cradle cap, she doesn't have much hair (actually she is completly bald) does anyone have any suggestions or should i just leave it alone as it is not painful/harmful?

never used the Dentonox but I used to put olive oil on DS1's head at about 4pm, wash it off when he was in the bath and then comb his head and so lift the cradle cap off. Sounds yuk but it seemed to do the job.

I second the olive oil and comb. It's brilliant.

Yep, comb after half an hour, and it just comes off.
