    I thought my LO had cradle cap pretty bad, but his provider said it was a pretty mild case. I think it started to be very noticeable around 8 weeks maybe? Doctor said to let it go, but I couldn't. Started putting a little baby oil on his scalp, letting it soak in and using fine tooth comb to get it out little by little. It looks much better already.

    @Erinruns263 Ds is 8wks old and I noticed it at around 6 weeks! I put some olive oil on his head and used a soft toothed comb to gently brush it off! Took about an hour( during 1 of his naps!) I think I got most of it, for now......

    My DD is almost 6 weeks and I noticed some dry skin. I'm hoping it doesn't progress to cradle cap!

    4 weeks for us. During a bath, use some type of oil and rub it on really well. Then use a mild baby soap and rub that on. Use a soft baby brush (not comb), scrub the head gently. You will notice it coming off. Works like a charm!

    3-4 weeks.  Super mild.  Haven't done anything about it yet at 6 weeks as it's just a few flakes.  Coconut oil and Breastmilk will be my go to.
