When will cradle cap drop off in its own? My 3mths+ baby gal has got cradled cap I tried to remove with olive oil & Dentinox shampoo but the hair came off too with some cradle cap. Don't dare to continue. Should I just shave off her hair & fix the cradle cap once & for all? Rather than next time she older then cradle cap drop off with hair she will look ugly with bald patches. Maybe just bear with it & shave off now when she's 4 mths, but heartpain as she got nice & soft hair.
