My baby has bad cradle cap. I finally decided to use frida baby hair mask and my baby scalp is so red and irritated and she lost so much hair as I was combing im heart broken. Anyone else experience this? I have got other soaps to try I will post in the comments but now I’m scared to try them bc she lost so much hair. I want to cry.

Omg this is crazy cuz I noticed today while I was using this with the Frida mask and comb that his head started to become a little red now I feel so bad cuz I thought it was just the comb🥺

she is gorgeous

Hey use ginger, mint leaves, cloves, and rosemary boil it in water strain the water into a spray bottle and spray your child’s head her hair will grow and cradle cap will go away

I expected a little redness from the bristle brush and then the comb but it was just so so red and she seemed to be uncomfortable with the soap :( how long did it take for the redness to go down ? Did he have any hair loss?

thank you!!!

definitely going to give this a try , thank you!!! I’ve been slowly trying to switch to a more holistic life style as it is

no hair loss and it went down a few minutes after bath was over

We use Dr. Eddie’s Happy Cappy. It’s pretty inexpensive and you can get it on Amazon. My baby’s cradle cap was gone within 2 washes, didn’t irritate her skin at all (she had it around her brows too), and she has all her hair! It’s like the only medicated OTC shampoo and wash you can get. It can be drying if your baby has sensitive skin though so I’d recommend using a cream, not a lotion (cream is thicker), to bring the moisture back into your baby’s skin. Obviously don’t put the cream in their hair, but if you have to use it anywhere else like we did, it really helps.

is it the medicated or daily

ty

My lo has very mild cradle cap and I use the mustela cradle cap shampoo and the comb we got at hospital with the tiny teeth to comb thru and I washed her hair every other day and she still has a head full of hair and barely any dryness in her scalp now … I’m sorry this is happening she is such a cutie 💗💗💗

Put Coconut oil on a few hours before shampooing and shampoo with Cetaphil Baby

I tried this !! Only about 2 times with the coconut oil and was using cetaphil but the wash only seemed to be making it worse and I couldn’t tell if the coconut oil had helped or not

thank you 🫶🏽 I’m going to try that if the natural remedy listed above doesn’t work. Im so sad over the hair loss 😩💔 my intuition told me to try the mustela shampoo first but I didn’t listen bc I heard of frida baby more smh.

definitely going to look into it ! Two washes and gone is amazing! Baby’s scalp hasn’t been flaky since ?

It’s normal for them to lose their hair, it isn’t the product that is causing the baby to lose hair. Don’t fret it grows back!

baby oil soak the babies head and use a cradle cap brush to brush it then wash your baby’s hair! worked miracles for my baby

i also use an oatmeal shampoo to keep the scalp hydrated!

Not at all! I ended up using it a third time just to make sure but now we’re back to using CeraVe

yes most say that but shes about 3 months and no sign of hair loss before this my first never lost any hair either
