My pediatrician just told me that my 3 week old son has cradle cap, he said to put Head & Shoulders on it!! That seems a bit harsh to me!! :eek:
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,
I prefer to use a more natural approach as well, I generally put some olive oil on the scalp about 1/2 an hour before you give the baby a bath, then wash it out, usually you have to wash twice to get it all out. Use a meium bristle brush on the scalp while washing as well. That tends to keep the cradle cap at bay..
Hope this helps..

I used the Gerber Cradle Cap shampoo, it worked great.
