Then, just comb it gently and wash it out. Don't use baby oil, because it is mineral oil, a petroleum product. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased one for Food Additives (8,000 ingredients) and one for Cosmetic Ingredients (6,000 ingredients) several years ago, and they have been invaluable to me, as far as learning what is what on all those labels..... (much less time consuming than having to look up each individual ingredient over the internet)FWIWJan / Michigan Federal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 My son had cradle crap and it smelt awful. I'm not sure how you would feel about using this product but it did work. Dial Soap the Gold Bar. Just was your baby's hair with it for a week. It really works.ByrneBunch wrote: In a message dated 10/6/2005 1:02:34 PM Eastern Daylight Time, athenadreamsia writes: Do you know what I can use for cradle crap for my son?

If it's hard to wash out (if you have to do it again), you can apply the shampoo to his hair and spread it around before you add water.
