Hey...

We just got back from Sophie's 6 weeks check up (only 2 weeks late) and she does have forehead cradle cap, its really wierd, none on her scalp, but in her eye brows and just above it going the full length of her forehead...

My doc (his a hunny) said to put baby oil on it, but didnt say how many times a day... i have been putting a little bit on at each nappy change, but not sure if that is to often. Tbh, i have never heard of or seen this type of cradle cap b4, its freaky!!! That's my girl, hehe!!

Aww poor thing. Id just keep putting oil on everytime it looks a bit dry, dont think u can put 2 much on (obviously ur not pouring it over her face lol)hope it  clears up soon for her

Cant believe shes 8 weeks already, wot does she weigh now?

The Baby oil in gel form is really good Nicki!  Means to mess which is a plus!

I agree with Pauline, I would just put it on everytime it looks dry.

Hey

It's gone!!!! Only put it on 4 times and its cleared it!!

P... she wasn't weighed, but the hv is due round on Monday to check up on me cause of the PND test score, will ask her to weigh her then.
