Cradle cap?

[starangelk]

My ds seems to have cradle cap......I think? It's like dry scales on his head. He's a hot rasht baby and gets heat rash at times but the scales have popped up today. There's a little bit on his ear too.

How do I treat this?

Thanks in advance

That Palmer's Cocoa Butter stuff worked wonders on Amelia's. Leave it on for an hour or two, then wash it off. I used a soft brush to really scrub the flakes off

DH's grandmother cured DD's cradle cap in a few hours. And it was BAD. Her hair was falling out in chunks because of her cradle cap.
We just rubbed some vaseline on it, left it for half an hour. And then washed her hair (well, head... lol), rubbing it gently with a wash cloth and it was nearly all gone.
We repeated it the next morning and her head was soft, smooth, without a sign of cradle cap. She's never gotten it again.

DS is probably a little young but for my Miss 2 I stumbled upon a cure by accident she caught head lice off her big sister and I put conditoner in her hair and while she was in the bath ran the metal nit comb through her hair to get rid of the nits.....not only did it get the little crawlies but it got most of her cradle cap too

Olive oil works really well.

Moo Goo has some great stuff for scalp.
Another one is bi-carb soda. Mix it up in water, paste on scalp and let it dry. Peel off and the cradle cap will come with it.

Paw paw ointment is good too

I could not beat Olive oil. Did it just like Charlotte91 described with the vasoline. I always added a few drops to every bath. Now They prefer bubbles

Moo Goo - DD2 had it really badly and it worked wonders!
