Does anyone baby have this as well?

Question

It's spreading to her cheek and ear..
I believe this is cradle cap?
The white stuff is corn starch.

If so, what helped your baby? & do I peel off the yellow scales ??

Answer

Awwww poor baby :( if it is cradle cap, applying coconut oil helps a ton. My baby boy had it, it didn't go quite so far down his face but almost. Coconut oil helped the issue pretty quickly

Answer

I'm so sorry your baby is going through this. Try putting breast milk on it and see if that does anything. It's known to help but it definitely can't hurt!

Answer

I'll jump on the band wagon top of Coconut oil!

My son is 13 wks and I've only used coconut oil with it being the most natural (yes Breast milk can help too). Any other form of baby oil I won't touch. I'll let it soak in for an hour (maybe longer) then wash out. Afterwards I'd use a baby brush and baby comb and would pull out a lot of it. Even a spoolie brush on the brows. Be gentle. After the 3rd time seemed to do the trick for us.

Answer

Could be eczema. Which is sometimes indicative of being intolerant to dairy/soy . Maybe ask your doctor about that. My son had it, just not as bad as that. We had to switch him to a hypoallergenic formula and it cleared up. If you're breastfeeding cut out dairy/soy and see if that helps. Good luck!

Answer

Baby oil will help out a ton. If it's in the hair you can put baby oil and brush with a fine tooth comb and it will help. Don't peel it bc t will create scars. Also only bathe every other day or two days if you can stand to go that long bc water makes it worse!

Answer

Don't peel them off. They are just going to create scabs which will then be scars. Take her to the Dr. Apply coconut oil to the affected area.
