My dd had cradle cap for a little over a year. I felt so embarassed; at every check-up I thought her doctor would put hand-cuffs on me for being a bad mommy, lol. I couldn't get the stuff off no matter what, but as she got older and started enjoying her bath-times more, the cradle cap came off on its own. Now, she's got a beautiful curly blonde head of hair (that I'm so envious of). Don't stress too much about it.
