If you haven't found a solution to the cradle cap, you might want to try our Koala Pals Tear-Free Conditioning Hair Wash after applying T36-C5 Melaleuca Oil diluted with olive oil. Both products are very safe for your child. You can call me at ###-###-#### or ###-###-#### or email me at ____@____.com for more information.

Hi A.,

It will go away in time. If you wash her head, just use plain water, no soap. You don't need to use soap or shampoo on your baby until she really starts getting dirty. Also, never use "baby oil" on your baby or on any other human. Baby oil contains mineral oil, a known carcinogen. Skin care products containing mineral oil are illegal in many countries. Mineral oil is a petroleum by-product. If you really feel the need to rub oil on it, use olive oil. Olive oil is anti-bacterial, antioxidant, and has many other healing qualities.

Baby oil helps, Just rub it on her head. My dd had this very badly also. I just would wash her head and brush it and use the baby oil. Good luck.

Hi,
First of, I wanted to say that I live in Tucson, Az too and my husband is in the Army! My Dad was a pilot in the Air National Guard here in Tucson...WIERD!
My son had cradle cap too and I remember the doctor telling me to use a lot of lotion and if that didn't work use a little bit of cortaid every day until it went away. It worked. I don't know what other doctors would say though.
