    we have dry skin too... dove was the only thing that would help, plus hydro cortisone cream with aquaphore. for scalp, we use head and shoulders for when it gets bad. if it's not, we use water, dove, or aveeno.. whatever we have on hand.

    our cradle cap was AWFUL in the beginning, went away.. and now at 7 months, i see a little of it coming back again. head and shoulders really works well for us... but please keep it out of their eyes... mine's screamed a few times

    The back of the bottle specifically says it is safe to use on babies. It is actually a "soap-free" cleanser. You don't have to rinse it off thoroughly - it acts as a moisturizer, too. It is often used in hospitals for people who can't get out of bed to bathe.

    While we have a 'script for it, it is not any different than the kind you would buy OTC. My only gripe with it is that it contains SLS, but we use so little and there are so many worse things out there.

    Just don't get it confused with Cetaphil moisture lotion, make sure it says Cleanser.

    How frequently do you use shampoo? DC has cradle cap too and we use shampoo once a week. Is that too infrequent?
    TIA

    We wash DD's hair with shampoo once per week. Cradle Cap is not a hygeine issue and it is not dandruff. And shampooing TOO frequently can make it worse.
