Baby oil on a baby brush

They have a shampoo for it in the baby section and a soft tooth brush gently brush it and it removes it. Works fantastic. Use oils such as coconut etc. after, to prevent it again. If you use oil now it just coats it.

I’ve read breastmilk.

Oil. I used baby oil and left it in her hair for the time it took me to wash her before I used a soft bristled brush in circular motions on it. It took a while to get rid of, but it worked.

Baby oil all day every day

I put coconut oil in and let it sit for a bit to soften, and then used a super soft baby brush.

If you can find this, pick it up. Has a little silicon Brush on the bottle. My son had it pretty bad and few times using this all gone and it hasnt come back :slight_smile:

It will usually go away on its own in a couple of months. Please dont make your baby miserable and uncomfortable by scrubbing it with a brush or toothbrush or whatever. Use a cool mist humidifier in the house to add some moisture. Put some lotion on his head right after bath time. Use a soft bristle brush to brush hair like normal. Will take about a month for it to be gone doing it this way

Breastmilk, tubby todd all over ointment and I use monat kids.

I used coconut oil and a comb

Baby oil and a soft tooth comb. Little bit at a time to not cause too much discomfort.

Put baby oil on his head

We use this every time we bathe our 3 month old and it’s taken care of it the second it starts to creep up

I always user straight baby oil

Wet his head, gently use your finger tips to massage his scalp with his babywash. This is how i got rid of it with all 3 of my children.

Baby oil and a baby brush

Put baby oil or coconut oil on his head after a bath. Let it sit for a bit and use a comb. It’ll come off :slightly_smiling_face:

Baby aquaphor at bedtime and combed out in morning cleared my sons up.

Let baby oil soak on their head for a few minutes then gently comb through to remove flakes, wash hair and dry and gently comb more flakes out once dry be very careful to not over do it or scrub too much their scalps are veg sensitive and the flakes will fall out on their own over time

It takes time, both of my boys had it. I always put lotion on right after bath time and brushed it out. It won’t all come out at once though :slight_smile:

I’ve personally tried baby oil on my daughter hair haven’t tried anything else yet until doctor gives the OK she will be a year old but it hasn’t helped it just keeps coming back.

I used olive oil, let it soak on his head for a while and then comb it out.

I comb my daughters hair when I’m washing it. Getting it wet softens it up so it comes off easy.

My daughter got cradle cap so bad I took her to the pediatrician, because nothing worked. She put her on special shampoo. My boys baby oil & baby brush during bath time worked. Good luck

Take pantene shampoo let it sit for a minute and use their comb and and brush as long as they will let you and then rinse it off. Complete with a small dab of conditioner like you would your hair.

When you wash the baby’s hair after you get rid of the cradle cap you have to massage the scalp to keep it from growing back. It can also get in their eyebrows. While you are shampooing you can massage the scalp with a baby brush. Every baby I’ve bathed i do this. They love it. It must feel relaxing.

Regular baby shampoo can be very drying try aveno for babies. Both my kids had sensitive skin that and dove were my only choices. Johnson and Johnson made my lil girl worse. Aveno and time it will go away.
