Cradle Cap...seriously?

strapp02

DS had trouble with this one time when he was maybe 3 or 4 months old. I used head and shoulder's (carefully) one time and it was totally cleared up.

Now the past few weeks, its back....so random....I have been trying head and shoulder's....no luck....

Suggetions???? I am 7 weeks preggo....and this is totally grossing me out. We need a solution ASAP! Lol!

My 6 year old deals with this off and on still.  The hairdresser asked if there was a chance he wasn't rinsing his hair well.

I use the head and shoulders off and on and also comb it while wet with a fine tooth comb to get it out.

I've heard olive oil helps, but I've never tried it. Here are some other options.

I would use regular baby shampoo and use a baby brush to scrub his/her scalp during bath.  That worked for my DS.

I put baby oil on and let it sit for 15 min.  Then I use a comb to comb it out and wash as normal.  It worked wonderfully!

A lot of people also talk about this: https://www.gentlenaturals.com/?gclid=CKXD3qe42aoCFQjc4AodnXb17A but I have never actually used it myself since the baby oil did the trick on the first try.

My boy had it really bad from about 3 - 6 months.  We spoke with the doctor about it and ended up using two things to clear it up:

Gentle Naturals Cradle Cap Care to remove the scales in the morning

Selsun Blue for shampooing every night

I JUST noticed my son has it again too. must be the heat.

My older one got this really bad when he was around 2.  It took a couple weeks, but I washed his hair with head and shoulder's every night and it finally went away.  I have also heard to alternate 2 different kinds of head and shoulder's (they have different active ingredients) and that helps it out quicker.

DD had it when she was only a few months and I used baby oil and would comb it out and eventually it went away. I noticed a few weeks ago that she has it again but its barely noticeable so I haven't done anything about it. If I see it get worse, then I will probably do the oil and comb thing again.

DS has it.  It's not really noriceable, but it bothers him and he is often scratchiung his head.  I use the stuff linked above.

My DD has had it before and I used olive oil. Let it sit, use a comb and comb out the pieces and rince.
