Baldy Baby!

At around 2 months old, one day, Luca was sitting on my lap and I looked down at his head and it was all crusty and yellow. I almost had a heart attack. I thought maybe it was craddle cap. Can you get craddle cap at 2 months old?? So I went online to search and in fact it WAS craddle cap. He had a pretty severe case of it. It looked so gross, poor baby. I wasnt sure how long it was going to last. Fast forward four months later and he still very much had it. I was getting fed up of it. I would imagine it being itchy and uncomfortable. I was slowly combing some of it out each day. Today I made the big move and combed it ALL out. There was A LOT! The thing about craddle cap is, that with every little crust, there are like 20 hairs attached. So it goes without saying that since today I took all the crusts off, my baby is now a little baldy! Its a bit funny because the craddle cap was only on top of his head, so his hair is very thin on top and thicker on the sides. He was born with a ton of hair, so its a little weird to see him so bald. He probably still has more hair than most babies. Well, at least his head is smooth now. Hopefully it doesnt come back. Oh, the things you have to do as a mother. Anyway, bald and all, that cute little face still melts my heart!
