Cradle cap

[Stacey2007]

Hi everyone so my twin girls have got cradle cap, and it’s on there eyebrows, not really bad but it’s noticeable, is they anything that helps to get rid of it?

DD had cradle cap on her eyebrows. It cleared up on its own around 8 weeks. She still has it on her head though!! But I'm not so bothered about that as it's hidden by her hair - the eyebrows is quite unsightly!!

Baby oil or olive oil on your babies head. Leave for an hour and then use a really really soft tooth brush and exfoliate. Comes off a treat!!! Tip from my HV, not something random I made up! 🤣

I did the same as @lockdownpregnancy except my HV suggested coconut oil was best. Made her smell like a pina colada 😂

Olive or coconut oil, massage in before bathtime, and use your fingers to rub at it, it will eventually flake off (you may need to do for several days) and then wash out.

Dentinox cradle cap shampoo I found worked really well.

Thanoyou everyone I will give it a go, unfortunately will only be able to do that on one twin as other one is on oxygen and can’t use oils 😔

We used oil in the morning to soften it then rubbed it firmly with a warm-hot flannel. We were rubbing gently and making slow but steady progress. our gp said we didn't need to be gentle and so we did it firmer it pretty much went in a day or so. We kept up the routine for the rest of the week and it hasn't returned

You could probably skip the oil with the twin that can't have oil and I would start of being gentle but getting progressively firmer if needed
