Cradle cap

My LB is 8 weeks old and has quite significant cradle cap. Please see photos. At the moment, we are using coconut oil daily and Loyon too.

Just intrigued - how long did it take for your child's cradle cap to clear? Flakes are starting to come off by themselves which is reassuring.

Thanks 😊

I can't see the photo I'm afraid... My DD's was pretty bad, but we just left it to figure itself out as it wasn't bothering her. It probably all went around 13 months?

Oil daily (camellia is better than coconut oil as it doesn’t go smelly, or olive oil). Brush gently all over with a soft baby toothbrush. Leave for an hour then wash. Takes about three days

I left it alone completely gone within three months
