How do I get rid of cradle cap besides using baby oil?

Hi is it ok to use head and shoulders on a babys head for cradle cap, and if not how do I get rid of cradle cap besides using baby oil because that doesnt work on her

Answer #1

Do not use head and shoulders…cradle cap is not dandruff, it can’t be treated the same way.

Answer #2

ok thank you for all the help

Answer #3

According to babycenter.com:

“Try shampooing more frequently and gently brushing your baby’s scalp with a soft brush or a terrycloth towel.”

If baby oil doesn’t suit you, try almond oil: “Rub just a small amount of almond oil — on your baby’s scalp and leave it on for about 15 minutes. Then gently comb out the flakes with a fine-toothed comb or brush them out with a soft brush.”

Hope that helps!
