Cradle cap

My lo is 3 months plus old but she keeps having cradle cap. Does anyone here have any suggestions besides using shampoo? I wash her hair once a day

My LO used to have it too! You can use either olive oil or coconut oil, apply a thin layer over the affected area, leave it on for awhile then use a soft brush to gently scrape the flakes off. It should come off easily. After that either bathe baby or at least wash baby's head. It cleared within a week for us!

My aunt had a bottle of Millenia Herbs Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (it's a white bottle, 100ml) we tried it and it worked well for us!

Apply oil and massage 10 mins before shower. Use a soft brush to massage the head further when washing the head. The scales will slowly dislodge.

Initially, I used olive oil but it didn’t work well for my girl, so I switched to Colief Baby Scalp Oil.

Avoid oil in general if baby has skin problems like eczema. Use moisturiser

It will goes off by itself. If not you can use olive oil.
