Still managing cradle cap?

OakTreeMommy · March 2013

My DS is 10 weeks old and I'm still managing his cradle cap daily. It keeps coming back on his brow, behind his ears and the top of his head. I was wondering if the moms with babies 3-6 months old are still dealing with it? Or does anyone know when I can I expect him to grow out of it?

Thanks!

We're just approaching the 3 month mark, but I've had good luck with the Mustela Newborn Shampoo. I use it twice a week and it takes all the flakes off really well.

We're dealing with it too....baby oil works well to control it, but LO H-A-T-E-S baths, so I'm still only bathing her once a week. I'd like to do it more often, but I feel bad stirring her up like that more than once a week.

Mustela products for bath time and coconut oil for after bath. I saw a lot of improvements on my LO's skin. Give it a try?
