Cradle cap is something that we’ve been battling ever since Raegan was born. No matter what I’ve tried or done cradle cap has been a persistent problem that there seemed to be no solution.

I have tried the special cradle cap treatment with very little success. All it does is make her hair look oily and dirty. After washing her hair, combing seems to help remove some of the cradle cap but also removes some of her hair in the process.

I had heard from a friend that her pediatrician recommended Head and Shoulders to get rid of cradle cap. It makes sense since cradle cap is just a form of dandruff. I tried it on Raegan, and it worked wonders. All the cradle cap is now gone. Her scalp looks great.

Just remember when using Head and Shoulders on a toddler is that the shampoo is different than baby shampoo. Be sure to keep it out of baby’s eyes. If you have a bath visor to help keep water away from your baby’s face, use it. I rinsed very carefully using a washcloth and my hand to shelter her face. It worked somewhat well. A little did get into her eyes, but it wasn’t very much. When using shampoo, go ahead and lather it in your hand then apply to the hair. It is easier to rinse and little residue will be left in hair.
