Cradle Cap- olive oil???

Question

Hi, my 2 month old has a mild form of cradle cap on the top of her forehead hair line area and eye brows and my doctor recommended olive oil...has anyone tried this and had success? I’ve seen a lot of people post about baby oil working well. Thanks for your input!

Answer

I used coconut oil, and a little cradle-cap brush I found on Amazon for $7 or less (I think it was called bean-b-clean). It was great, she even enjoyed the brush.

Answer

Yep that's what our pediatrician recommended too and it worked great!

Answer

We've tried it with no luck. But my little girl's cradle cap is absolutely horrible. We've tried so much to no avail.

Answer

I’ve always used olive oil. Works great! 
Baby oil will do the same thing though, or coconut oil.

Answer

Olive oil was the only thing that worked for my son. I tried coconut oil, baby oil, scalp oil nothing else worked

Answer

Olive oil, baby oil, or coconut oil should work. Put it on baby's head and use a baby comb to comb out the cradle cap and then wash with baby soap afterwards. You can try and baby brush first, but if that doesn't work, try a baby comb.

Answer

Coconut oil smells a bit nicer! But olive oil is as effective. I’ve also used baby oil which has shifted it quickly 😊

Answer

My pediatrician said I could use Sansone blue shampoo
