Ginger I guess it doesn't sting because it's not an "open wound" as such, it's sitting on top of the skin... just my guess.]]> Thu, 10 May 2007 16:23:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7381&PID=143385&title=cradle-cap#143385 <![CDATA[Cradle cap : Erm ...believe it or not, my youngest...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7381&PID=143372&title=cradle-cap#143372 Author: ginger

Erm ...believe it or not, my youngest brother is 23 and he still gets it!!

What my mum used to do for him is cut a lemon in half, and rub a lemon over his head. It'd soften and loosen it, and then it would wash off. Mum used to do that when we were little, but I couldn't say how good or bad it would be for a baby. I would have thought lemon would sting like the devil ]]> Thu, 10 May 2007 16:06:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7381&PID=143372&title=cradle-cap#143372 <![CDATA[Cradle cap : Alyssa had it early on in her...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7381&PID=143017&title=cradle-cap#143017 Author: pepsi

Alyssa had it early on in her hair and eyebrows.. I used grape seed oil on it and that worked really well, basically left it on there for the day and then combed it all out that night. Looked gross coming off but was a gentle way of removing it. I think it was pretty much all gone by the time she was 6 months..]]> Thu, 10 May 2007 09:35:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7381&PID=143017&title=cradle-cap#143017 <![CDATA[Cradle cap : Gabriella didnt reallu have any....and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7381&PID=142895&title=cradle-cap#142895 Author: Bombshell

Jake has it too, and refuses to stay still long enough for me to pick it off with tweezers. i got told that it is mainly cosmetic and not to worry. now jake is no longer bald you can't tell. funny thing, he has beautiful skin and always has had, while Taine has some scaly patches and never had cradle cap at all.]]> Wed, 09 May 2007 21:36:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7381&PID=142875&title=cradle-cap#142875 <![CDATA[Cradle cap : charli is a baldy bub which shows...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7381&PID=142826&title=cradle-cap#142826 Author: jack_&_charli

charli is a baldy bub which shows off her bad cradle crap. i've started putting a little baby oil on her head each day then wash it off after a few mins...seems to be helping a bit.

The gremlins got shocking cradle cap in their eyebrows which gradually spread up their foreheads and into their hair and got red and scaly and exczema like. The doctor prescribed them some diprozone (sp) lotion which helped clear up the redness but they still have a little cradle cap on their scalps. Maya never had it so I don't know when they'll grow out of it.]]> Wed, 09 May 2007 18:37:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7381&PID=142686&title=cradle-cap#142686 <![CDATA[Cradle cap : I must admit.

I must admit. Dont really have trouble with McKayla's skin. She gets a slight rash that other people cant even see as soon as their is a product change or something like that, but her skin never really gave me any hard problems as such. ]]> Wed, 09 May 2007 15:08:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7381&PID=142553&title=cradle-cap#142553 <![CDATA[Cradle cap : McKayla was really weird.

McKayla was really weird. She had a bit of cradle cap right above her eyebrows. Yip you read correctly. Luckily my antenatal midwive gave me a great tip on a product and it dissapeared within a week and never had it again. So I will say 3 weeks. ]]> Wed, 09 May 2007 15:05:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7381&PID=142548&title=cradle-cap#142548 <![CDATA[Cradle cap : Lycan had a little bit but it&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7381&PID=142511&title=cradle-cap#142511 Author: Deez

Lycan had a little bit but it's all gone now and he's 9.5months old. I used to massage his head with vaseline leave it for 5-10mins then wipe it out with a dry cloth or in the bath.

I would be interested to know. Tyrell had cradle cap from his excema, which I am still battling with and can't wait for it to clear up.

Sorry no help.
