Have not Bambino but will be watching this thread as dd (22wks) is suffering at the moment....

Olive oil....messy but it is natural...and won't irritate.

Agree wholeheartedly with marz. Nothing else works. In the bath put olive oil on head and massage it in for as long as the child will let you then gently comb the cradle cap away, bit by bit. Took two attempts to get rid of my ds cradle cap. Shampoos, useless.

Just leave it. DDs is disappearing by itself, as did both DSs.
