Does anyone know a good treatment for cradle cap? DD had baby acne and now that it cleared up, her little head is extremely dry and flaky. I brush her hair to stimulate her scalp and help remove some of the flakes, but is there something I can put on it.
baby oil? lotion? aquaphor? TIA
Re: cradle cap...
My peidtrician suggested Head & Shoulders. He said to rub it in gently with a soft toothbrush. Watch the eyes though--it will burn.
I also had success with squirting baby oil on his head and rubbing quickly with a wash cloth, then washing the hair.
massaging oil on the scalp works, that is what my pedi recommended
we use a tiny bit of selsun blue and rub it in small circles with a soft toothbrush. be really careful though not to get in in their eyes b/c its not gentle to the eyes like normal baby shampoo.
then i slather his head in aquaphor. it does the trick. his cradle cap was TERRIBLE before we started that treatment.?
