My DS has it and I am wondering how often you would put baby oil on his head and wash his hair. I am hoping this will help before going to Doctor. Unless someone else can suggest ways to help get rid of it! Thank everyone!!

That is the best way, it will go away eventually. DD had it too for a few months.

I wash every 3 days and we use Paul Mitchell Baby don't cry, then comb it like a crazy person. Seems to take care of the problem better than oil did. HTH!

I use olive oil and a brush every few days- it helps but will come back.  Her pedi said that it will go away on its own eventually and that what I'm doing is good for controlling the buildup.

our  pedi said to use selsun blue it took two weeks and was gone with no brushing or anything else

When he started getting it, I did the baby oil and used the brush in a circular motion to really get it into the scalp. I did it every other day for about 2 weeks, and now I just do it once a week to prevent it from coming back.
