Re: cradle cap and the helmet

,

Try a little bit of baby oil and a baby comb. I hope your ortho is

able to get a better fit soon. I'm sorry she's out of her helmet

again. Keep us posted.

Hi KAren,

Baby Oragel makes a great cradle cap shampoo. Its called Gentle

Naturals Cradle Cap Treatment. It has done wonders for both my kids.

I fought for months with my ds trying to get rid of it and found

that shampoo and bam it was gone. I hoep you can find some and try

that. It works great. The scales are turning white because of the

lack of air. Not a bad thing so dont freak lol Its kind of like when

a scab gets wet or is under a band aid and it changes. When it is

like that try using a very soft baby brush and run the brush over

it. See if it will remove any of the scales.

Sorry to hear about the red spot of Angelinas head. I hope you can

get the adjustment you need ( if thats the prob) and she has it back

on with better results this time.

,

My son's cradle cap finally went away when I stopped using baby

shampoo. I switched to the Loreal Kids Blueberry Smoothie and it

was gone after two or three shampoos (I used a comb to gently

scratch off scales before shampooing). We had tried everything and

it seems each baby reacts differently so I hope this helps.

Hi ,

When my daughter had cradle cap, I'd take one of the soft infant

brushes and gently scrub her head (in a circular motion) while I was

washing it. That got ride of the cradle cap almost immediately :-)

Have you taken you daughter in for an adjustment on her helmet since

you made this post? If not, you should call and have it looked at at

the very least. You are right it keeping it off in the mean time.

Try the hairbrush while washing. It really works.
