My LO has such severe cradle cap and now it's on his face too. I have tried oil and brush treatments and although they work for a little it comes right back. Any other advice? I think it's itchy because he keeps trying to scratch his head

Keep repeating the oil and brushing. It seemed forever till my daughter outgrew it!

We used Burts baby bee ointment. Put it on his head and left it for about an hour then wash during bath and brush afterwards. His went away within a few weeks.

Wash hair everyday and make sure you put oil or lotion around 3 times a day.

You can use selsun blue once or twice a week. Be careful not to get it in the eyes.

We had really good results with the Mustela brand product to help cradle cap. Might be worth a shot!! Hope it clears soon

You can use head and shoulders on them just be very careful to not get in their eyes. Worked great for my niece

Moms have mixed feelings about it but my dr said it was perfectly fine to use a dandruff shampoo (Head&Shoulders) to gently wash the scalp. Cleared it up within a day or 2 with my LO!

I had to get a prescription shampoo from the pediatrician for one of my daughters because hers was so bad. It doesn't hurt to bring it up with your pediatrician. 😄

My daughter would get cradle cap bad just on her head, she has lots of hair and I've done the oil cap treatments. But I use that soft brush to help wash her hair each time but with baby shampoo. Just cleansing helps and to keep the face moisturized. Baby products only.

Our son had it really bad on his scalp and on his forehead all the way down to his eyebrows. He had baby acne at the same time. Poor little guy looked a hot mess for 2 weeks lol! We use coconut oil. It is gone from his forehead and now is only a little left under his hair. He has a huge head of hair though!
