What can i do to get rid of cradle cap? How long does it take to go away? What do you use?

My little one has quite thick cradle cap on the top of his head, it looks red and sore. Is there anything I can do to help?

How to get rid of cradle cap please?

My 11 week old has quite bad cradle cap. Mostly I’ve left it completely alone and been applying coconut oil but the scales still remain at the front and back of his head.

Today I washed his hair in the bath and used a soft bristled baby brush and rubber flat brush in a circular motion to try and wash away and loosen some of the scales.

When it’s wet they don’t come off very easily so dried his hair and brushed a little more.

It seems to have caused some irritation and redness so will be leaving it alone for a a few days before attempting to remove the cradle cap further.

I’ve used a generous amount of coconut oil again to soak overnight and applied some of my breastmilk on it (which is a miracle cure for most things)

I’ve ordered special cradle cap shampoo from Amazon and will see how that goes before visiting GP for advice.

Any advice appreciated 🙁

My LO has a full head of hair and I’m wondering if there are any recommendations for clearing her cradle cap it’s seems to have taken over her whole head. Any natural measures are duly welcomed
