My LO is experiencing a resurgence of his cradle cap and has been itching his scalp like crazy. I put the cream on his scalp but now he looks like the Fonz and smells like my grandma. Was I supposed to wash it out?

    This made me chuckle.

    I've used it.  It doesn't really wash out well.  Still greasy and smelly after a bath.  I wouldn't recommend it for cradle cap.

    i didn't but my baby too had cradle crap again. I put olive oil all over her head and rubbed it in with a soft toothbrush. I did this for @ nights and it was gone. She no longer smells like a cheese head yay!!

    Dang! Someone else recomended it for the itchyness earlier today. It doesnt really seem to be making a difference. He is sleeping now so I guess I will find out what happens when it stays on over night.

    We tried it but it didn't help. The only thing that got rid of the cc was to wash his hair twice a week with Neutrogena T-Gel.

    My Pedi recommended Paul Mitchell Baby no tears and it is working so far. I do have a baldy though. She said you have to buy it at the salon though and it only cost us $7.50

    Not sure but I just wanted to say that my kiddo had cradle cap pretty badly (I'm talking chunks of skin fell of his head- it was pretty gross) and I used the Mustella Foam shampoo (someone recommended it on this board) and also a tiny bit of head and shoulders. It seems to do the trick as long as I wash his hair every other day or so. I also oil up his head with baby oil gel once in a while and let it sit there during one of his naps. Hope this helps!

    My DS had horrible cc and I used plain old vasoline on it three days ago and now it's all gone! I bought the California baby cream and I HATE the way it smells. Vasoline two nights in a row, using a comb in the morning, and now it's gone!?
