My son ever so often gets alot of caradle cap.My daughter only had it once when she was a under 1 year old and hasnt had a problem with it since.I used babyoil and it worked but it was really greasy.So I kept looking for the Gentle Naturals that helps cradle cap.Well I looked at Krogers and they always seemed to have the Gentle Naturals for Eczema and tablets for teething and I couldnt seem to find it.Well finally Super Wal-mart came out with it and it is about 6 dollars.It is in kind if a medium size bottle but it goese a long ways.I tried it on my sons head and it helped.It is kind of greasy but it smells good and it isnt as messy as the baby oil.So what methods have you used or tried with cradle cap with your child?Its called cradle cap but it is actaully dandruff.I guess they use that term for babies and children.

I used to mix a paste of bicarbonate of soda and warm water. Gently massage it into babies head and rinse off. It worked liked a dream. It is very similar to using a facial scrub. You have to be gentle though, I didnt rub the babies head to hard.
