Cradle Cap

Gently rub your baby's scalp with your fingers or a washcloth to loosen the scales. Don't scratch. Wash your baby's hair once a day with mild baby shampoo. Loosen the scales with a small, soft-bristled brush or fine-toothed comb before rinsing off the shampoo. If the scales don't loosen easily, rub petroleum jelly or a few drops of mineral oil onto your baby's scalp. Let it soak into the scales for a few minutes, or hours if needed. Then brush and shampoo your baby's hair as usual. If you leave the oil in your baby's hair, the cradle cap may get worse. Once the scales are gone, wash your baby's hair every two to three days with a mild shampoo to prevent scale buildup. 👆BKA MAKATULONG.
