my older ds had it and i think i used baby oil to get it out but he was older than my ds is now.

what should i use to get it out?

it's also in his eyebrows, any suggestions for that?

Re: cradle cap???

I was told olive oil is helpful.....

Re: cradle cap???

i am using aveeno moisturizer and it is working

Re: cradle cap???

I used baby oil on DD and so far its worked very good.

Re: cradle cap???

My ped said oil is very hard to get out- He suggested head and shoulders shampoo! Leave it on for around 5min before washing out-- It worked great on my DS

Re: cradle cap???

For her eyebrows I used olive oil applied with a q-tip. I let it sit for about 5 minutes and then rubbed it out with a dry washcloth. It worked great and never came back. it took about 3x (once every other day) to get rid of it.

Re: cradle cap???

Olive oil did not work on DS. I heard Neutrogena t-gel or head and shoulders, and was going to try those, but then Randella posted about Calendula Cream by California baby!

I bought that and a shampoo / body wash with Calendula by Weleda and it worked AMAZINGLY on his cradle cap and eczema! I highly recommend and it's all natural.

Re: cradle cap???

my son has very dry skin and i have been using the aveeno oatmeal cream....it works great!!

Re: cradle cap???

Olive oil worked wonders for DD!

Re: cradle cap???

try neutrogena t gel, thats what i recommend to my patients.

Re: cradle cap???

I've tried baby oil, olive oil and even aquaphor.. leaving it n DS for a few hrs. at a time but it doesn't seem to work.

Then I read a doctor recommending a dandruff shampoo like selsun blue and that seems to work when used 2-3x/week.

The oil never worked for Rylan. His ped recommended Nutrogena Tgel. I'm not sure if that even worked great because at 14 months he still has a little.
