HI Mommies!
My baby boy had cradle cap and the Dr said can put olive oil on it. Since olive oil didn't really help, I went to Watsons and asked them what shampoo they have to help with newborn with cradle cap problems. They suggested Mustela. Since it's a brand that I use for lotions and stuff, I purchased and started using on my baby around Xmas time. It is a foam shampoo for newborns and on the bottle it says, "washes away flakes associated with cradle cap".
I noticed that the problem area on his scalp improved dramatically, however, his hair started to thin out and his scalp looked more whitened! I called the service hotline on the bottle, which is the company that distributes Mustela. The customer service lady said that I shouldn't be using it everyday, because it's a rather strong shampoo. Well, that's funny, because on the bottle it says, "Ultra Gentle Shampoo", so I was comfortable using it daily. She also suggested that I stopped using it on the baby. I complained that there's no directions on the bottle with regards to the frequency of the usage. To which she replied, "we'll let management know".
Well that answer doesn't really help me, so I just want to post to vent my frustration and also alert other mommies, dont"T BUY THIS SHAMPOO!!!!!!!!
