Are there any little tips and tricks you have picked up from caring for newborns that you can pass along?  Things that will deal with the little things that most babies face at some point … cradle cap, thrush, baby eczema, etc.

here are some of mine …

Cradle cap: the crusty patch(es) of skin that forms on baby's head … falls somewhere between dandruff and eczema.  I apply a little baby oil on baby's head and lightly comb it with a baby comb to loosen (but not scrape) the dry skin.

That's a neat little trick on using baby oil as a cure for crusty patches Diane. I guess I learned another new trick again today. :) I've only ever used baby oil to keep warm during cold days and to use for massage.


I've just read an article warning about the dangers of baby oil -  http://ezinearticles.com/?Dangers-of-Baby-Oil&id=947769. Do you think it's true that natural vegetable oil is safer to use on our babies than baby oil?
