I noticed C's cradle cap went completely when he had a "clean" diet when he started eating it came back. I think for him it's a sign of an intolerance to something as it does get worse & better.

Notice that a lot the above kids have ezcema in some form as well. I think it goes hand in hand.]]> Sun, 20 Feb 2011 22:10:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38076&PID=1271405&title=cradle-cap#1271405 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38076&PID=1271336&title=cradle-cap#1271336 Author: _SMS_

My girl had cradle cap until about 12-13 months i think. She had it for ages anyway. Luckily she had hair to hide it.

I use to put on olive oil it a few hours before bath time. I would then wash her hair and comb it out. It never got rid of it but did get some out ]]> Sun, 20 Feb 2011 20:33:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38076&PID=1271336&title=cradle-cap#1271336 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38076&PID=1271283&title=cradle-cap#1271283 Author: Whateversville

I was one of the lucky ones lol my DS's cradle cap was gone by about 4months but it also coincided with an amber necklace so I've always sworn it was the necklace that helped. And I'll continue to believe so too ]]> Sun, 20 Feb 2011 19:21:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38076&PID=1271283&title=cradle-cap#1271283 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38076&PID=1271203&title=cradle-cap#1271203 Author: Limochick

my kids all still have a bit at cradle cap and my oldest is 5.5yrs actually i think my emmett is the only one that hasnt got it at the moment. I also have found the j&j and a soft baby hairbrush worked when they had that lovely soft baby hair. now when i get the boys hair cut short i just rub moisterizer into there heads and wash it off. it does work until there hair grows out again.]]> Sun, 20 Feb 2011 14:33:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38076&PID=1271130&title=cradle-cap#1271130 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38076&PID=1271003&title=cradle-cap#1271003 Author: Babykatnz

my 20 month old still has a little bit of it, both my kids have had it rather thick at times, and the only way (I tried just about every 'home remedy' I could find!) was the J&J bedtime bath wash left lathered in their hair for the duration of bathtime, then using the soft bristled hairbrush, rubbed around in circles (sort of a light scrub) but even that wouldnt get all of it off!]]> Sun, 20 Feb 2011 10:08:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38076&PID=1271003&title=cradle-cap#1271003 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38076&PID=1270824&title=cradle-cap#1270824 Author: HippyMama

From the dermnet site....

"No particular baby is more at risk than any other. Cradle cap is a very common condition that usually appears within the first 6 weeks of life. In some cases the condition will slowly resolve itself over a few weeks whilst in others it may continue for 6 to 9 months, and sometimes much longer."]]> Sat, 19 Feb 2011 19:21:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38076&PID=1270758&title=cradle-cap#1270758 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38076&PID=1270605&title=cradle-cap#1270605 Author: newme

DS2 still gets cradle cap and he is almost 3.

But he also gets excema. I wonder if it is connected - like you would be more prone to cradle cap if you have other skin conditions like excema or psoriasis?]]> Sat, 19 Feb 2011 13:30:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38076&PID=1270605&title=cradle-cap#1270605 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38076&PID=1270354&title=cradle-cap#1270354 Author: mumoftwins

I've just read this article which suggests that cradle cap is uncommon after three months of age. Is that true? All my girls have still had cradle cap as toddlers.

Also I think Bethany (4wks) has some under her chin. She has a whole lot just above the nape of her neck and on her ears, but the scales (over her milk spots) have me a little confused. Suggestions?]]> Fri, 18 Feb 2011 20:51:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38076&PID=1270262&title=cradle-cap#1270262
