hi Ruth - im not sure if this will work or not - but i have a very dry skin condition and i just use aqueous cream - it's water based so i dont think it would be too strong for your babies head - hope this may be of help
Massage a small amount of baby oil onto your baby's head. Leave it for a while and then brush his/her hair very gently and it should lift off. Obviously it will leave the hair a bit greasy so it will need to be washed after wards.
Olive Oil! It works wonders! My health vistor recommended it! Leave it on over night, then wash off!
both of my sons suffered with this also and i was at my wits end trying alsorts but what did help shift it eventually was baby oil. put it all over your babys head and leave it on all night then wash it off in the morning keep doing this and i assure you it will go
In the night time wet her hair with Baby Oil. Comb through and massage thoroughly. Leave it in until the morning. Then comb again and wash how you regularly do. Repeat if neccessary until it clears.
dont worry.its nothing and will go away! i put vaseline on my babys head than morning brushed with soft brush and washed it off.. dont ever try to pick it with your fingers if you do, you damage hair folicles and no hair will grow there again!
get a tub of vaseline and rub it all over babys head leave on all night then wash of in the morning may have to do it a few nights depends how bad it is this worked on my daughter hope this helps, and dont worry vaseline is gentle
Gently massage the baby oil into the baby's scalp, just a little at a time.
Then, use a soft baby brush, to brush the flakes away.
My pediatrician said to use the olive oil, and it worked for us, and my daughter had it really bad!
I used olive oil or baby oil on a piece of cotton wool and used this to rub it on the areas of cradle cap in a circular motion. It comes off and makes the cotton wool a yellow colour. Afterwards I would wash the hair in the bath. Use a really gentle shampoo and rinse thoroughly. If it's really bad it will take a while to come off totally but keep doing it and you'll soon get it off.
In order to avoid overly drying out the little one's skin, you might want to keep the baby's baths down to 2 or 3 a week. Also, research your baby care products as infant skin is extremely sensitive and needs to most gentle products out there. Many baby care products (including wash and lotions) contain ingredients such as fragrance and mineral oil, the molecular structure of which is too large to penetrate the pores of skin, sitting on the top layer like saran wrap. Mineral oil is actually motor oil washed several times to make it clear. These products may cause irritation and get wiped off over time and give little to no benefit but rather a temporary feeling of softness. Baby's need pure, and safe water based products with the proper ingredients.
Arbonne has a great baby care line (hair and body wash, lotion, body oil, diaper rash cream, and sunscreen) that is botanically-based and pH correct, pediatrician and dermatologist tested, non-sensitizing, non-irritating, and formulated without nut oils. They are formulated with natural ingredients like oat flour which is an emollient and an emulsifier. It鈥檚 highly absorbent and hypoallergenic. Oat flour helps to soothe and soften dry, itchy and sensitive skin. I use Arbonne's baby care products on both of my children and have never had a problem with dry, irritated skin.
If you're open to trying a free sample, I'll be happy to send you one.
when my infant had it his dr told me to use a tiny drop of head and shoulders rub it in to a lather and then use a soft bristle baby brush to lighty brush the loose sking off. i also use i tiny bit of baby oil in their hair after baths
good luck
My friend tried Olive oil and it helped, just rub in a small amount and leave.
you have to use quite alot of olive oil on for it to work effectively and quickly.
Put on before nap time. Leave for a couple of hours while they are alseep.
Remember to put a muslin or cloth underneath head so that it doesnt soak into mattress.
Then get a soft baby brush and with gentle quick flicks work from the fringe backwards to back of head.
Keep repeating process and cradle cap will lift off.
Do not use a baby comb and too harsh and do NOT use your fingers as this can damage skin and may spread infections.
Afterwards swaddle in towel tuck under arm then give thorough wash off with small amoutn of baby shampoo.
If this is done every time it starts to appear it will gradually cease altogether.
Hope this helps, its worked for me on many babies over my years of nannying.
I used olive oil. Makes the babies hair look a bit greasy but it worked! My health visitor also told me to dilute the baby shampoo and my daughters cradle cap cleared up in no time.
try baby oil or butter they both work.
Try Avent massage gel it worked within a few days and my daughter had it quite thick at one stage - the shampoo didn't work on my daughter either alternatively baby oil
Some olive oil and a gentle move of a comb over babys head very gentle and that should do the trick good luck
if i was you i would put olive oil, like the others said. i don't have a baby but i know some people who do so i know.
We used Selson Blue (on doctor's orders) and it worked wonders. Within 3 washings (6 days) it was basically gone.
However, with all adult and medicated shampoos, be very very careful not to get it in their eyes. Can be very bad.
Hi!
All my kids have had cradle cap and it can be quite hard to get rid of completely. However, some researchers recently discovered what caused cradle cap and since then a new ointment is available. Go to the pharmacy and ask for an ointment containing borago oil. You can also buy it online, but I haven't tried that.
It really works!
For more information, check my website, where I write about this in more detail. http://www.easybabylife.com/cradle-cap.h鈥?/a>
Good luck!
