Cradle Cap

tracelini

DS#2 has the WORST cradle cap I've ever seen. Awful. You get it out and it grows back the next day. DS#1 had it but you could get the scales out and it was done. No biggie. This guy, goodness, it's driving me crazy. Suggestions that have worked for others???

DD has only just recently had problems with this. Olive oil seems to help a lot. And then just brushing her scalp ALL THE TIME with a soft brush.

We never dealt with it, but Holly's pedi recommended massaging her scalp with a soft brush whenever we shampooed her hair to prevent it. We did that, so maybe that's why she never got it! :-)

My DD had cradle cap. I know this is goind to sound crazy but we used Zwitsal Haarlotion (spelling is correct). It is from Holland. A coworkers wife is from Holland and they gave me a whole set of the Zwitsal baby products. I would shampoo her hair with a soft brush and then put the lotion on it. Its actually more watery than lotion. But it cleared her cradle cap up in about 2 weeks and we kept using it tell they were about 5 months old. The products are actually made by a foreign division of Sara Lee. You can buy it online at https://www.hollandsbest.com/drugstore/zwitsal.php

I'm glad I'm not the only one dealing with it!! Liam has it, though it's not terribly bad. But Wesley - he's got ecxema now, and cradle cap to go with it...it is SO hard to get rid of it since he's got a head full of hair. My pedi recommended using a small amount of Head and Shoulders now that he's 2, but before that, they recommended olive oil and a soft brush.

Aquaphor and brushing my daughters scalp helped for us!

As recommended by our pediatrician, we purchased a bottle of this https://www.amazon.com/Sebulex-Medicated-Dandruff-Shampoo/dp/B0011EIZI8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1323899754&sr=8-3 and used a small amount, lathered it in and then rinsed and brushed hair.  Literally, cradle cap was gone within 3 treatments.  We have a ton of it left.  I couldn't find a smaller bottle.  I didn't buy it on amazon.  I found it at a local family owned drug store.  Good luck.
