The only reason I wanted rid of it was to stop the world and his wife telling me how to get rid of it! I was fine with it staying, DS was fine with it, why tell me how to get rid of it? Do I send psychic "tell me how to parent please!" signals?
I was the same Ryn.
DS had a lot of cradle cap, his head resembled a cracked, dried up riverbed, but it didn't bother him, it wasn't itchy etc, so I left it alone. My mother was not amused, and started trying every remedy she could think of, without consulting me at all, to get rid of it.
We tried everything but it went on for months. then in the end when it finally went, it all happened within about 24 hours, for a full head of cradle cap to none.
