Cradle Cap. Ew.

What a nightmare. Finn had really bad
cradle cap because it built up so much
since I couldn't see how bad it was
through his hair.
I just spent like 1/2 an hour trying to
get rid of it. What a mess! I used baby
oil and I seriously had to shampoo and
rinse his hair like 10 times. He was
getting really upset by the end of it so I
gave up and his hair still looks a little
greasy. He's sleeping now so I can't even
admire my work and see if I got it all but
I hope I did because I don't want to put
him through that again.
You can kind of see how funny looking his
hair looks here (and I just love this
picture), he was sad and just wanted to go
to sleep. Poor little guy.

Aww, snuggling with his .Grover.
I always inspect .Aly when she's asleep
 scalp, ears,
fingernails, etc... It's easier for me
when she's sleeping. She gets so mad at
me when she's awake 
"leave me alone .Mommy!  "

I know what you mean. I still am trying
to get it all off of serenity. It keeps
coming back.

it comes back? Oh man, I thought once I

What are you doing to get rid of hers?

it comes back, so you might as well not
mess with it. I know it's nasty looking,
but it will go away by about 6 months.

Oh, I was told that it wouldn't just come
off on it's own and i'd have to scrape it
off myself. That's why I kind of figured
once I got it all off we were good.
I don't know why i'm so grossed out by it.
I can't even see it through his hair.
He'll probably wake up bald tomorrow
because of all my scrubbing.

yeah it goes away by itself usually around
6 months. Ethan had it and I could see it
very well, because he barely had any hair.

It's not like dandruff. It's like a build
up of oil (i think) that turns into a
crust. So I lubed up his hair with baby
oil, let it soak, rubbed it around with a
soft brush and then kind of scraped
lightly with a comb until it looked like I
got most of it.

Yeah, it kind of looks like dry scales or
something. Aly had it a bit, and it
always came back. I try hard not to mess
with it. It has reduced on its own as
long as I shampoo her head every couple of
days. I'm assuming it'll fade away
completely.

Chu had it. It went away on it's own.
When it was really bad, I just washed his
hair more frequently and massaged his
scalp with baby oil.
