How to stop cradle cap returning?!

3 replies

cantthinkofaname2021 · 05/08/2021 23:33

Does anyone have any advice please? My 7 week old had cradle cap appear about 2 weeks ago, I didn't want to use any of the shampoos, cradle cap brush didn't work so have been using castor oil & nit comb which is working very well to easily remove it. It's now gone from the back of her head but on the top seems to be returning - is there anyway to stop it? Do I need to keep removing the flakes? Thanks for any advice x

As long as its not bothering her then no, just be mindful to be careful when brushing/picking the flakes as it can pull bits of hair out as well. I'd use the oil and comb when needed and to be honest unless the hair is actually dirty, just use water on it for a bit to wash.

Just leave it and it will go away by itself eventually.

She's so little but la Roche posay have a kerium shampoo that just may work a miracle, you should look into the brand see if you like it, had a very sensitive skinned Bebe and found their sunscreen after years! imo it's a good one, (there's also a treatment shampoo for once weekly use , great for stubborn dandruff but I'd say probably not for a baby!)
