Cradle cap is horrible. My five month old had it a few times. I got a special shampoo at wal mart for cradle cap and used it a couple times. After you used it in their hair take a comb or brush and gently rub their scalp to loosen the flakes. It may take quite a few times, especially if your child has hair.

As far as potty training goes, I can't be a lot of help because I only have an infant but I can give some tips from working in daycare. First, try getting a potty chair and let your child get used to it. They aren't always ready when mom is. Let him sit in the chair-you don't even have to pull his diaper off. Just give him lots of praise for sitting there. Once he seems interested you can try setting him on the potty to use it. Hope this helps. I hope someone with more potty training experience can help you.

when my son had cradle cap ( know its not recommended) but i baby oiled his head and GENTLY took a baby brush and dug at the loose pieces about once every 4 days or so until it was gone

but the potty tryining.... with a new baby in the house it will be extremely difficult.... make sure to give him lots of praise-- tell him what a big boy he is- not a baby... but you still may want to wait a couple months in my opinion

I also have heard this oil trick. You can use a baby comb. Don't dig at it, but most of the loose pieces will just gently lift off as you comb. I have done this before with good results. The remaining oil will moisturize the scalp.

How old is your son whom you want to train?
