Cradle Cap is a "yucky" looking condition on a babies scalp. It is basically dead skin cells and oil matted onto the babies scalp. I have been easily removing it whenever it appears on my babies' scalp with this simple method. I use a dime sized amount of baby oil or baby oil in a lotion and massage it into the scalp, I then use a baby comb or brush to gently loosen the crud off the babies scalp being sure not to scratch. I then wash the baby's hair with a baby shampoo and dry. If it is really bad, you might have to do this each day until it is gone. For my babies' it usually only needed to be done once. Hope you find this helpful. Check out my other guide on homemade baby food and my auctions for baby food recipes and tips. Thank you.
