How to get rid of horrible cradle cap?

Question

4 month old daughter has cradle cap and it looks horrible to me! How do I get rid of it?

Answer

Coconut oil before bath works wonders. Leave on for 30 min

Answer

I used some baby oil and a cotton ball to get the scales soft then brush with a plastic brush (I used the one from the hospital) then wash hair and brush again. Make sure you wash the brush really good after using the baby oil. After a few days it cleared up

Answer

Breast milk! It is called liquid gold for a reason.  Since giving birth I have had terrible acne on my jaw line. I recently started putting breast milk on it 2 times a day, and seriously my acne is gone. I also used it on my babies cradle cap and it was gone within a few days.

Answer

Have you tried one of these brushes? My son had a mild case and this helped. Maybe the brush combined with the other suggestions would work for you guys!

Answer

Baby oil!

Answer

Hi my baby had dry scald not really cradle cap. I found out tha diluting the wash gel in a basin of water helps. Dont put wash gel or baby shampoo directly.

Answer

My baby had it horrible at about 2 months. I used a cradle cap brush and washed her head (she has tons of hair) once per day until it was gone. This is the only thing that worked and we have not had a problem since. I tried coconut oil and baby oil first with no luck.

Answer

Shea moisture olive and marula baby shampoo and wash. Only thing that worked and my sons head was completely covered! It took a couple of weeks but really worked amazing!
