Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Hi Cory, Yes, I had this problem with . I used Aveeno oatmeal bath made into a paste. I'd rub it all over her scalp and rinse it out at the end of her bath. It worked great! A former member told me about it. Hope it helps. --- In Plagiocephaly , " Cory Schwemley " <cory6@c...> wrote: > has been in his STARband for 2 months now and the skin on his scalp is > getting really dry.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Cory We had the same problem with my son, we used a shampoo called Gentle Naturals for Cradle Cap and also Gentle Naturals for Ezcema, they both worked great. You can find them in the baby aisle of your grocery store.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Cory, We had the same problem with , and used the Aveeno Oatmeal bath packets (I still use them occasionally since she's prone to eczema on her arms and legs). The Aveeno packet moisturizes the skin, and seemed to help. Also, using a few drops of olive oil with a soft hair brush rubbed into their scalp seems to moisturize it (and helps with cradle cap as well - but that's not an issue you have).
