Well DD seems to have cradle cap. Any suggestions for oils to use? Thanks in advance.

Might sound weird but I use milk. Clears it up really fast.

I use coconut oil! I just rub it in let it sit for a bit and it combs right out.

Coconut oil.

No personal experience, but I've been told Dawn dish detergent.

I agree with the coconut oil recommendation. @banfrog do you prepare the milk at all?

My mother swears by almond oil and has had a bottle for me on stand by.

I Used olive oil with my first. Worked like a charm!

@Boslove I don't do anything special with the milk. I just soak the cradle cap with the milk for at least 5 to 10 minutes and then I wash the hair like I normally would for a bath.

Head and shoulders works, too. Just be careful not to get it in the eyes.

I used coconut oil last night on dry scalp and worked perfectly!

You can use baby oil. Let it sit for 5 minutes before their bath and then gently comb it out in their bath.

Milk like breast milk or cow milk?

Coconut oil!

We used olive oil tonight before his bath and even used coconut oil on him after his bath and it looks much better. I'm hoping that a second time doing it will clear up the last tiny spots this weekend.
