Cradle Cap Treatment

All of my kids have had cradle cap while they were babies, including Joey right now. The best treatment I've found for it is this:


 

When the cradle cap starts to look "scaly" I find a fine tooth comb and GENTLY (remember a baby's scalp is very sensitive so do not press too hard and dig into the scalp) loosen the dry skin and comb it out of the hair. Once all the skin is loosened and combed out (the scalp will look very dry but that's okay) then I use a tissue or paper towel and apply Burt's Bees Apricot Baby Oil to the scalp. I only apply the oil onto the tissue and then massage it into the scalp, don't apply the oil directly to the scalp or it will be too much. It will absorb into the skin and the cradle cap will be gone. :-) You may have to do this every so often (when you see the scalp becoming scaly again).
