SO dry skin - cradle cap?

ReeceFamilyReeceFamily member
in January 2013 Moms
Am I the only one whose LO still has "cradle cap"?  She still has patches of dead skin on her scalp that won't disappear. Several times I've tried rubbing them with oil and sloughing with a soft wash cloth and/or tooth brush...and then she just gets greasy scalp.  I'm starting to wonder if it will ever go away?  Any tips that have worked for you guys?

    I remember when DD was little someone suggested Olive oil (we used baby oil. I couldn't bring myself to put Olive oil in her hair tho. I was just looking at my new babies scalp after bath last night and they have those dry patches. I am wondering if they will turn to cradle cap??

    DD2 still has these spots - I'm not overly concerned about them. They don't seem to bother her, and they're not overtly obvious.

    4 Rounds of Clomid, 2 Rounds of Femara + IUI, 2 rounds of IUI+ Injectables (Bravelle + Menopur) = First BFP! TWIN GIRLS!

    OK, well good to know I'm not the only one.  @sewvt86, I've never heard of a cradle cap comb!!  I'll have to look it up.

    Dd does. She also fights hair washing time so I thought it might be because it's not being rinsed well.
