Cradle Cap on Babies - Treatments and Remedies for Cradle Cap

[blessedatlast]

Coconut oil!!! It's the best. I started using it when bub was still in NICU and use it every day. It's the best ever stuff and everyone compliments how soft his skin is

Which brand and where do you get uour coconut oil?

After reading this i did some research and found woolies sells it in the asian food aisle. Can i use that? Or need specific one from health food store?

Thnx dd2 has really really bad cradle cap

Yep coconut oils great (im just a cheap skate so I use olive oil instead lol) any coconut oil/butter would be fine its all the same stuff, but it may be worth checking the health food store coz you may be surprised at the price- I was the first time I bought it there!

Not sure of the one in woolies, but as long as it's organic virgin coconut oil it's fine..

My DS had it quite bad and he started going bald from it at 4mnths? Not sure if this would have happened anyway since he is my first lol. I tried a few things and eventually what worked was putting a bicarbonate paste on his scalp at start of bath and then wash off at end of bath. After a few days it was gone. I also brushed his hair with a soft tooth brush lol (didn't have any baby brushes!)

He know has beautiful long hair lol - and possibly already needs a hair cut

Agree with this. I smother their hair in a paste of sodium bicarbonate and water, let it dry, then wash it off.
