Emma is developing a mild case of cradle cap.  Any ladies use a product that worked well? Thanks!

Olive oil. Put it on, let it sit for a couple of hours (put a hat on) and then gently exfoliate with a washcloth in the bath.?

DD's pedi told us to use original selsun blue. We used it twice and it was gone. Put a tiny amount on her head, lather it up, let it sit for 5 minutes & rinse very carefully. Don't get it in her eyes. ?

Somebody bought us a product called "Cradle Cap" that worked wonderfully.

All we ever did was use olive oil & we also brushed her hair frequently.  HTH!

We use baby oil instead of olive but same technique as PP.

We did olive oil also...put it on about an hour before his bath with a cheapo hat on top that we didn't mind getting ruined, then washed his hair and brushed it with a soft brush in the bath. ?It was pretty much all gone in one go.

Hyrdocortizone cream works really well. We use a little at night after a bath. It works great. We also use baby oil or cradle cap cream.
