Hey lovely’s, does anybody have any recommendations for cradle cap my little girl is 9 weeks and starting to get a flaky scalp. I usually use the Johnson’s shampoo and conditioner but is there anything better to use? I also use Kokoso coconut oil in her hair should I keep using this?

I used baby shampoo and a soft bristle brush to rub her head in circles. I got most of it off that way and then moisturize with coconut oil:)
She only has a very small dry spot now!

thank you! ❤️

thank you I will get some❤️

Aw does she bless her my girls has just started so it’s not bad yet I just want to try and sort it before it gets really bad because I can’t stand it 😂 xx

I used Dentinox - started clearing the first time I used it!! He didn’t have it really bad but it helped sooo much xx

aw that sounds great I’m going to get some today! Thanks so much xx

If you breastfeed. Breast milk is amazing for it and dry skin

Moogoo! Will clear it up almost instantly

Specifically the cradle cap one, not the shampoo.

Johnson’s ingredients aren’t all that great, i highly recommend installing the Yuka app. It lets you scan the barcode of baby products and shows you their rating out of 100 for their ingredients and their level of potential harmfulness and irritants. The Child’s Farm shampoo is much better, using this twice a week on my 7 week old’s scalp with the Frida Baby cradle cap brush worked wonders. I’d also massage coconut oil into his scalp right before washing it and let it sit for a wee bit and it seemed to really help!

Personally I boycott Johnson’s

oh yes I am breastfeeding, do you know the best way to use the breast milk for this? X

thanks lovely! X

oh this is very helpful thank you I’ll download the app! X

If you can pump then just as is on the scalp and leave for a bit or mix with shampoo
I can’t pump much. I pump about 1/2oz. not enough for a feed so I would throw it in the bath. My baby had bad dry skin. Now it’s super soft 🥰

thank you! X

We used dentinox cradle cap shampoo, the first time round when she was little it cleared up really quickly, this time round (she's nearly 2 now) it's taking a bit longer, but then we wash her less less these days.
