Hi. I've just been informed by friends that my 9 week old son does have cradle cap. can I have suggestions please on the best way to sort this out or products that people have found helpful. I did ask HV a number of times "does my son have cradle cap?" And he has said every time no. Mmmm!! 🤔

Coconut oil also when dd was young. Worked really well & it's all natural which is a big bonus. A tub lasts ages & we still cook with it to this day.

I have a 7 week old just started using coconut oil. It smells funny but it's really good

Hi,

My little man also has cradle cap. I'm using sweet almond oil and works really well. You can see a big change in few hours.

Hope this helps!

Thank you. I will see what I can get in the next few days and how well they all work. I'll keep everyone posted. Grateful for your help. Xx

Either coconut oil or vegetable oil apply a small amount before baby has a sleep. Than using a soft brush, brush it out. Than wash baby hair with a small amount of baby gentle shampoo.
