Cradle cap

What's the best way to get rid of cradle cap?

I don't know if this is much help but I used a massage oil by Earth Baby Angel Mama after bath time on LO.  I would also brush his hair after his baths.  Both helped prevent cradle cap so I never actually had to treat it.  The massage oil says it helps with cradle cap though.

With DD I used a fine tooth comb to comb it all out. For DS the doctor said to use baby oil and a brush.

My pedi said to use Selsun blue if the oil didn't work.

Coconut oil has been working great for us. I put it on a couple hours before bath time, then brush it through and wash it out. Has worked for us every time so far

Our pediatrician recommends switching to Aveeno, and it works like a charm!

I tried the fine tooth comb, oil, mustela and then my pedi suggested sebulex.  It contains sulfur and salicylic acid.  We used it a couple times and it made a huge difference.  We were then able to maintain with just the mustela.

This.  I tried all the typical oil/brushing, other products including dandruff shampoo and MUstela foam shampoo was the best.  It worked nearly immediately

I just massage his scalp with a warm washcloth very gently and then shampoo like normal.  When his hair is semi dry I comb out all the chunks/flakes.  Only the bits that are ready to come off will come up this way, so its a slow process.  I tried baby oil and a brush with no good results.
