I heard it should subside within a few weeks but for my baby it keeps on going and coming back and when it comes back, it’s a lot worse and has previously gotten infected! Currently it’s dry and flaky, wondering if any mums have tried anything that would help? Baring in my mind my babies skin is extremely sensitive!

My dr said to use a little drop or two of adult dandruff shampoo and dont get in their eyes.
I havent done it yet I trialed the happy cappy first and it didnt work. So i will be using a bit of head and shoulders next bath.

Apply coconut oil twice a day!

Rub with Vaseline until soft then shampoo and use comb to gently remove the flaky skin. Keep moisturizing with Vaseline or baby oil.

Try the Bella b bee gone cradle cap shampo I got it as a gift when my son was a newborn and it worked great!
a hypoallergenic, tear-free, and paraben-free shampoo specifically designed to treat cradle cap in babies. It uses natural ingredients like oatmeal, tea tree oil, shea butter, and aloe vera to remove scalp flakes and soothe irritation

I recently had to go to dermatology for this and my baby developed eczema after initially having cradle cap. Buy the frida comb and use when you bath him. Also they suggested abit of olive oil

Apply organic coconut oil to the scalp. Leave for 2 hours then gently remove with a soft bristled brush. I used a toothbrush. Clean brush on washcloth to remove scales as you go. Works like magic!

I just used baby oil and then used a baby comb and combed his hair with the baby oil in it and then waited 10 minutes and gave him a bath after and it never came back

organic coconut oil kokoso is very good and a comb! lightly rub it on the craddle cap and it should come right off

My babe had pretty bad cradle cap.. I slathered coconut oil on and left it on for 15-20 mins, then rinsed it out and washed her hair with baby shampoo and used a “cradle cap” brush to lather the shampoo on. Then used a baby comb to lift the flakes afterwards and finished with soft baby brush. Go rid of all the cradle cap in one go

My baby was the same. One day I went to wash and couldn't find his shampoo (misplaced by dad) so I used a bit of my sulfur 8 medicated adult shampoo. It was gone the following day.
