Cradle Cap

Has anyone had baby cradle cap? (Very dry skin on the scalp) My son of 3 months, she and I have been put baby oil in her hair to soften the skin. Is there someone else has tried other remedies?

My daughter had the most is the first year of his life. Our pediatrician recommended baby oil, which was far too messy. He said there are treatments OTC cradle cap which also work well, but the best way to remove it is to gently brush head / hair with one of those soft baby brush while shampooing. Let him relax.

While this does not bother him, does not bleed red or infected, you do not really treat all ot. My daughter did not completely disappear until it was around 15 months.

Gentle Naturals makes a shampoo for cc. You can get it worked on my son Target.It in the first week and it has not been since.

My daughter had it 21 years ago at the time and the only thing that told me to use baby oil was. What a mess that was! Now I see your order on racks specially designed for this and my daughter will start using my granddaughter, as she begins to develop. check your local pharmacy baby area /. There is a choice among several.

baby oil is what works best, but be sure to brush her hair and scalp and often in different directions. All three of my children he had and I found that baby oil and a large number of hair washes to get rid of the problem. When they did I would not bathe two times a week but with cradle cap was every 2 days

when washing my hair girls, I use regular soap Johnson and Johnson baby, but I used his toothbrush sweet little baby (brissles soft) and washed her hair with the brush instead of my hand .. in a circular motion. It helped a lot!

The treatment is milder than simply rub a small amount of baby oil or olive oil on the scalp of your baby. Wait several minutes for oil to soften and loosen the scales and wipe with a soft brush or washcloth to dry sponge.
