What sorted out your baby's cradle cap?

[JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff]

With DD1, I just left it - but baby DS"s is quite unsightly as he doesn't have much hair.

Did you use oil? Medicated shampoo? Or is it really best just left?

Just a good ole shampoo and combed it out with a soft toothbrush :3

Time.

Moogoo scalp cream sorted my wee boy’s out, after I’d tried loads of other things (oils, creams and shampoos). Worked very quickly and has nice gentle ingredients, no chemical nasties.

Head and shoulders once she’d turned one. Just rubbed it on and rinsed rather than washing the hair . Once was enough!

Epiderm worked really quickly with my daughter!

Olive oil as others have said. So satisfying when it all comes off

Cradle cap was my favourite part of having a baby

I picked it off

Ds had bad cradle cap. Tried everything. Then got MooGoo scalp cream. It worked brilliantly and he was clear within 2 days. Highly recommend it.

Dentinox cradle cap shampoo worked for us. Smells nice too :)

Dentenox shampoo. Works a treat and not greasy, smells lovely too

Another Dentinox user here! Love the smell!

My GP suggested applying vaseline just before bath then washing hair. It worked really well!

Another for Dentinox

Oil and nit comb.

Dentinox shampoo and lift it off.. hair comes out so I did it gradually. She was covered. Now use dentinox to keep on top of it and lift off a few scabs at a time. It does come back

Another one for Vaseline left on over night. I think I did this twice and it never came back. Very satisfying indeed!

I've just had good results with Biore baking soda facial scrub (very gentle) and Child's Farm baby moisturiser afterwards. Maintaining it with Dentinox now. So far so good!

Yep I left Vaseline on over night too. Brushed out with a baby brush in the morning then washed. Think I only had to do this twice and it was gone

I would say coconut oil as well. I did it recently on my baby and 3 year old. They were both fairly mild, as that's why I had left the 3 year olds but I was surprised how easily it went soft and brushed out.

I bought the own brand cream from boots. I used to run it on a little then put a hat on DD and let it soak in and it would come off quite well in a warm bath.

Boots cradle cap cream, which is mainly almond oil

Head and shoulders! DC2 obviously, PFB got gentle stroking with extra virgin olive oil and a silk cloth which didn't work (not exaggerating much, and the H&S is definitely true, and it worked a treat).

Tried coconut oil and baby comb and quite a lot came off so may try that once every few days.

It was very sporny.

Capasal shampoo beat dentinox and olive/coconut oil for my two. Was too scared of the risk of scalp scarring to pick (depriving myself of a lot of potential fun by the sound of it).

Usee dentinox daily as soon as the slightest sign of it appeared - I have tripopophobia and couldn't cope with being afraid of my own baby's scalp! Never had any cradle cap or irritation of any kind since.
