Hi
My 2 month old has cradle cap on her eyebrows(her scalp seems fine)
Any advice on how to treat it?

Thanks

Rub some baby oil on them, leave for a bit to soften up and then gently comb/brush out (nit comb is good for this or soft baby brush).

If you don't have baby oil you can use olive oil, but obviously don't use any nut oils!

My eldest had this when she was about 2 months, it looked awful and everything we used seemed to make it worse! The only thing that really helped was brushing it gently with a soft brush!

Thanks everyone- it’s hard being near her eyes as well it would definitely be easier to brush her head than her brows!

Use a nit comb like this. Much easier on eyebrows than a hairbrush!

I gently stroked them with a wet exfoliating mitt. Emphasis on the gently!!

Thanks everyone I bought a really soft toothbrush and tried that looking better already! One eyebrow almost clear the other still doesn’t look great but definitely better than it was!
