What treatment options work for cradle cap?

Try the Gerber Cradle Cap Kit. I got mine at Wal*Mart! Packaged all together in a small cardboard box and sold for $9 dollars you get the following: 2 oz bottle of Scalp Gel, 4.8 oz bottle of Gentle Baby Shampoo, 2 Fl oz Scalp Lotion, an infant comb, plus an instruction booklet and guide about cradle cap. I tried it on my daughter and loved it. I now recommend it to anyone who has this problem. Also if you try crack cream and rub it on their head it works so well it worked like magic on my neices head and she had a really bad case of cradle cap
