If you use oil plain, like olive oil, you feed the yeast. But with the lavender, it is an antifungal.
Fire that makes sense. I still use that oil blend on DS's skin at night. I suspect part of the reason DD's cradle cap was so much worse is that she sweats a lot when she cries, which can't be helpful. But I seem to be on top of it now (the fungus, that is - not the crying!).

steph sounds like things are going well for you and lila. job sounds great too!

shoegal what is the infant scalp cream made of?

grubi i saw your birthday cake pic on the other thread. i think you did a fantastic job! i'm quite into making birthday cakes and am so pleased to have a girl so i can (one day) make one of those cakes with a doll stuck inside it.

hi also to meg, babywrangler, jen, nettie, shoegal and anyone else i've missed (my memory's not the best these days).
