Dealing with Cradle Cap

My son developed cradle cap when he was a month or two old. The doctor and a friend said that it would go away eventually and that I could use olive oil and a brush if I wanted to. I didn't like the idea of putting olive oil on my son's head. A friend related to me that her son had it and she just used  a brush and shampoo to get rid of it. I decided to try it and sure enough gently rubbing shampoo on his head with a brush got rid of most of his cradle cap. It took a week for it to go away and I do suggest doing it very gently. My son's head looks much healthier without the cradle cap!
