[blparent] cradle cap and stuff

shampooing and it seemed to ease the itchiness of the cradle cap, as well as 
loosening the scales.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may 
kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
