Cradle cap

Quotebut just let DDs 1 and 2 grow out of it, which they do eventually.
Can you remember how long it took for them to grow out of it "eventually"??
My DD still has patches (3.5yrs old) although thankfully they are hidden, wouldnt have a hope of dealing with it. My son 9mths also has it in patches.
Just a warning to others with babies, when my dd was little, i used olive oil which then made the cradle cap even more unsightly as it turns it into a darker yellow colour, then i proceeded to run my nail gently along it to remove the cradle cap. Unfortunately as i did this it also removed all her hair,I ended up with a bald baby!!!!Trying to tidy and clean while the kids are still growing, is like trying to clear snow even though it's still snowing

Mine were all bald anyway until they were about 2! Maybe that's why mine got cradle cap as I wasn't brushing their heads at all which would have naturally exfoliated the scalps. I can't really remember how old they were when they grew out of it, sorry. Hope it all clears up soon.0
