    Mary- I give Jonathan Karicare & I have no problems with it, he had it when he was 3 days old. Only there & then he throws up milk & I asked the MHN & she said it's normal, so I'm not worried at all. If he wasn't drinking then yeah I would worry. Jonathan is usually up by 8am for his bottle then the next one at 12pm, so he won't be sleeping. But he might be sleeping in the car. Can't wait till 2m.

    I put olive oil in Jonathan's hair last night, left it overnight, gave him a bath this morning & washed his hair & now the cradle cap is all in his hair, is this how it suppose to be? Should I have left it over night or should I have just left it for 1 hour then wash it?? Any advice would be appreciated

    Tasia.. you could try just gently combing or brushing it out? But yeh thats what is meant to happen.. for it all to come off from his scalp.. its just like dry skin. It will all just eventually fall out of his hair.

    Either way it wouldnt really matter. You can leave it over night and it will be fine. I did that with jesse with the baby oil and even sorbeline. Just make sure you washing all out thoroughly before he sees any sun.

    I bath Keira every 3rd day too. But i would proberly just wash his head each day (or more if you wish).. (you can just do it over the bathroom sink), put a new lot of oil or whatever on it as the washing also helps removed the skin.. and just do it until its all gone. Also would just try to keep his head as clean as possible during the process too. It just depends on how thick the skin is for when it will get better. But usually once that layer of skin is gone it should hopefully be it.
