Cradle cap

Re: Cradle cap

  • We aren't black, but my daughter had it on her eyebrows. In the morning I dabbed a tiny bit of olive oil on it. After her baths I gently went over it with a soft baby hair brush. Hers cleared up.

    We've used mustela newborn wash and they also have a product specifically for cradle cap. We also used almond oil for moisturizing as lotion doesn't help at all.. If anything it makes it worse.
  • My son had cradle cap his pedi told us to use a little head and shoulders in the bath. It cleared up in one wash! Just make sure you don't get it their eyes.
  • Coconut oil worked for me! I put it in his hair and left it for a day then combed it out with baby shampoo. Hasn't been back since.

    My first had it. Just used a soft brush to comb it out after her bath, or during. The warm water helps to soften it.

    Coconut oil FTW! It worked in a day on my LO and no problems since. Just apply in the morning, leave on, and comb out at night.
  • Thanks I will do that
  • Mustela foam shampoo works like a charm! Rub it in and let it sit during the bath. Use a soft brush to brush it around and rinse. Takes away 90% and then just repeat every bath.

    I used baby oil gel, put it on the flaky areas and let it sit for about 10-15 mins, then washed it out with warm water.
