cradle cap

will it go away on its own after a while? or do i need to comb it out?

Re: cradle cap

  • Cradle cap kind of exploded on my DD.  At the initial onset, I rubbed olive oil into her scalp to loosen the flakes.  I combed them out at the point and then washed her hair.  Since then the cradle cap has gotten a lot better and I'm just leaving it alone.

  • DS son BARELY has any signs of Cradle cap. My pedi said to just use a very small amount of dandruff shampoo and a pea size amount of baby oil after bath on head. TI would go away on it's own.
  • When I wash my baby's hair, I put on the baby shampoo and then use a baby brush to scrub her head.  She enjoys the massage and I have not had any problems with cradle cap.

  • The past week or so we had some issues with cradle cap, and I put some baby oil on her head and let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then I brushed her hair and loosened all the flakes.  Then I gave her a bath and shampooed her hair. 

    It's much better now and I try and brush her hair daily.
