[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dandruff shampoo.  Let it sit on the scalp for a few minutes but be careful as it isn’t tear free.  Comb the scalp.  Use conditioner on the ends if she has long hair because dandruff shampoo snarls the crap out of it.

Never use any “food” oil like coconut or olive as it feeds the crud.  [/quote]

Really?? I've been told by everyone to use coconut oil. [/quote]

It depends on how bad the cradle cap is. It might help with mild cradle cap but with severe cases it's only going to make it temporarily look better and if there's a fungal element, it might make it worse.

Dandruff shampoo is definitely the way to go here.  But be very careful to avoid the eyes when rinsing it out, as it will sting.  I'd talk to the pediatrician before trying the big guns of T Gel, though it might help.[/quote]

PP- my four month old has a little patch on the front of his scalp. I use coconut oil and mustela once a week and it gets better but not gone. Now I don't know what to do![/quote]

Wash daily, stop the coconut oil and get one of those cradle cap combs on amazon.  Mustela is great but you’re messing it up with the coconut oil and not washing enough. [/quote]
