Tonight DH and I were giving DS a bath and I was wetting his hair with a cloth and we both noticed what looks like cradle cap on his head.
Is this possible? I thought just newborns got this.
He did have it as a newborn and it took quite some time to get rid of it. Baths are a struggle enough lately, I'm not looking forward to having to fix this.

My LO had it until 2.5. We tried the mustela without much luck. We had to use head and shoulders for several weeks to finally get rid of it.

@ALV91711: My LO had it around age 2 and we happened to be at the pediatrician anyway so I asked him about it and he said it's normal to happen until a kid is schoolaged. It cleared up on its own in a week or two for us.

@TiredmommaMD: Head & Shoulders, we have that, maybe we'll try that this weekend.
@Pumuckl: Glad to know it is normal.
Thanks ladies.

Could it be a fungal infection? When my LO had thrush, he got a little patch on his scalp, but the medication for thrush (in his mouth) helped clear that up too.
