Cradle cap might just be one of the more common things that new parents have to deal with. If you don’t know what cradle cap is, it’s basically a really bad case of dandruff that can be quite challenging to get rid of.

We didn’t want our family to be suspicious, so we…

Activities included late night diapers, advice for the mommy and…
