Works For Me Wednesday

My first child was bald for the first 6 months of her life, completely! Which wouldn't have been so bad but she developed cradle crap, whoops, I mean cradle cap. If you haven't encountered it consider yourself lucky. It is sticky, yellowish stuff that adheres to your babies head as if it were applied with Gorilla Glue:) I tried everything to get rid of it, from special shampoos to scrubbing with a soft brush. Nothing could make it disappear. Em wore a lot of hats because I didn't want anyone to accuse me of not bathing my child. Anyway, someone finally told me to warm up a little olive oil and rub on baby's scalp right before bath time. Then rinse during bath and guess what it took that icky stuff right off. Just repeat as needed!
