Cradle Cap

I treated it with Tea Tree oil in those early months, which helped.

But when she still had it at 18 months (it came, went, came, went, came and stuck!) I used some baby oil and a really really soft toothbrush, and I gentle massaged her head with the toothbrush for a couple of minutes. Then I massaged in some gentle conditioner and let it sit for a couple of minutes. It took about 3-4 goes but it was gone and never came back!

But I wouldn`t be doing that until she is least One.

Good Luck!

yes I also recommend baby oil, it works a treat on my sons cradle cap.

I was told by a early childhood nurse to put babyoil on my sons head where the cradle cap was and then a couple of hours later wash it off with Head & Shoulders shampoo. I tried it and it really did work.

Two choices, or combination of choices. Depending on whether it is thick and hard, or just thin and light so far. If it`s thin just get a baby brush and brush it out vigorously after a bath. If it`s thick you may need to slather it in baby oil or sorbolene for an hour or so then pick it off bit by bit (should come off easily- if not soak again or try the next day).

Its a fungus, and will continue to grow unless you get rid of it all.

I found baby oil to be good and also sorbellene cream rubbed in is also another good one.

I didn`t worry about it one bit and found it fell away naturally over several months to a year. My bubs all had a fair amount of hair thought so you didn`t notice they had it too much unless you really inspected!

What i used to do was massage a oil on babys head then when he was asleep or breastfeeding I either used a the edge of a bankcard or my fingernails and scrape it off he never felt anything

Alpha keri oil and then just a good massage,You can buy alpha keri oil from the chemist and it is such a great product.

I brought a product from the chemist I havent got the box here because I gve it to a friend, I think its called egozite – ego brand. It was great it got rid of it for good.

Im a hairdresser and a rep from one of the product companies I deal with told me that when you use shampoo`s and bath stuff with the `no more tears formula`, it means the ph levels for this product are designed to be gentle on babys eyes but it is not the correct ph for babys scalp therefore resulting in cradle cap. When my eldest son was 2 i used head and shoulders on him and the cradle cap disappeared within 2-3 washes. Olive oil does soften it so that it is easy to remove but its a short term solution. As soon as you use the no more tears formula again, the cradle cap starts to build up again. Hope this is of some help to you.
