{Disarmed} Re: Itchy head

[Guest guest]

Thank you so much for posting the website of products that are unsafe for babies. I had several items that I threw out after reading the articles and checking the cosmetic database. I never would have thought that products geared for infants would be allowed to have these chemical additives that are so harmful. Lou Annlawoman1729@...Lou Ann Fugate

WOW, THAT WEBSITE IS DISTURBING! I HAVE USED 2 OF THOSE SHAMPOOS ON MY SON AND ONE IS THE ONE I AM USING NOW. I HAVE ALSO USED THE ADULT PRODUCTS ON MYSELF. I AM THROWING THEM OUT!

Re: {Disarmed} Re: Itchy head

We don't have our helmet yet, but my daughter has really flakey, itchy scalp. We use California Baby Super Sensitive shampoo now and also treat the really bad spots with hydrocortisone cream. I was wondering how the helmet is going to effect her poor little scalp. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Hi Beth-

When will your daughter get her helmet? If you have time before you

get it, I would highly recommend rubbing Extra Virgin Olive Oil on

her scalp. My son had cradle cap and I was really embarassed when we

went to Cranial Tech and were getting his photos taken, because as

they wet and combed his hair down, it started to flake. The woman

taking the pictures recommended EVOO (for you Ray fans), it

was recommended to her and worked wonders for her daughter.

Apparently there are a lot of natural antioxidents in the EV

variety. I used it 2 or 3 times on my son hoping to clear up the

cradle cap before his band came in and it did the trick. I put about

a tablespoon on his scalp while in the bath and rubbed it in good,

then used a comb to comb it in and scrape the scalp. Then washed it

out with shampoo 2 or 3 times. His hair was still oily the next day,

but the cradle cap was gone within a week and a couple extra

washings got the oil out. (I imagine if your daughter doesn't have a

lot of hair yet, it would be easier to wash out).

I'm not sure you can use EVOO while wearing the helmet, since I

imagine it might seep into the foam or something if you don't really

get it all out of the hair, but if you have time to try it before

getting her helmet, I would definitely give it a shot.

Good luck!
