Cradle cap?

Question

I woke up this morning to my daughter having yellow crust around her nose & eyebrows and realized she has some on her scalp as well. So the obvious tells me she has cradle cap. Did anyone else experience this with their LO? And did you do anything to help it?

Answer

Yup, use coconut oil. Let it soak in a bit and then a warm washcloth to lightly wash it off after about a half hour. Might have to do this a few times. Can also just leave the coconut oil on the skin, doesn't cause any harm. If you have a soft bristle brush, comb LOs hair to get the flakes out. Coconut oil also helps if LO gets baby acne! 😃

Answer

Normal. Just let it pass. Mine only lasted a few days. He takes a bath everyday so we focused more on his scalp while shampooing. Gently of course and used a fine baby comb

Answer

Mine was horrible.  He lost all of his hair with it!  If over 3 months try head and shoulders.  Be careful of the eyes

Answer

Coconut oil.

Answer

I put a tsp of coconut oil in her bath, after two baths her cradle cap/eczema went away completely. I'm sure you can use olive oil, jojoba oil, or baby oil whatever. I tried lotions and different baby shampoos, this is the only thing that worked for us. Anymore than a tsp though, and your baby will be slippery lol.
