What do you do for Cradle cap??

is it best to leave it to sort itself out of use a cream/lotion??

Ds4 has the typical oily cradle cap at the front of his head and dry flaky cradle cap at the back, so I'm not sure what to use.

Olive Oil (just leave it on).

Lightly drizzle him with olive oil. Worked for my lot

Leave it. It goes away eventually.

olive oil or nothing.

I've been using olive oil for months, finally gave in and bought a lotion. It said it was for babies but it gave ds a rash, so I stoped using it.

is it weird that Ds4s is oily atthe front but dry at the back?

The big ds's only ever had a small oily patch

olive oil or nothing, it will go away eventually, honest! Just don't give in to the urge to gently pick at it, tempting as it is!!!!!!!!

DS4 is just extra special

DS2 still has a little bit of his and he was 6 on Sat. Can't see it under his thick hair.

My DS4 had it for ages, in his eyebrows too, I would massage olive oil in after his bath. A bit messy on the bedshhets so don't use too much.

DS1 had really bad CC. Looked like cornflakes stuck to his head but his was linked to his excema.
