Re: cradle cap

I used olive oil, let it sit for 10 min, then brushed it out with thin comb.

Then washed her hair, rinse and repeat.

I use Johnson & Johnson's with honey and vitamin E. When her hair is lathered I use a soft toothbrush gently on her scalp. After three uses it was all goneChat Icon

I tried this as well but it didn't help as much as I wanted. I asked his Pediatrician and he advised me to use Neutrogena T-Gel Shampoo but only to be careful so that it does not get in his eyes. I washed one time and I already saw the improvement right away.

I had tried all that oils stuff and none of it worked with my son's cradle cap. What did work is using Neutrogena T Gel shampoo a couple times a week and rubbing with soft toothbrush. Be careful of babies eyes - but this cleaned it up the best. It was my doctor's recommendation.

Re: cradle cap

None of the oils worked for Steven. It was also more difficult because he has alot of hair. What finally worked (he still has a tiny bit) was this. You put some on the scalp and brush it, right before a bath.

My doctor told me Selsun Blue also. Then put aquaphor on it. My DD has it on her eyebrows and behind her ears.

YUK!!! I actually just went to the doctors today for this.
