I brushed her hair a lot to loosen the dry skin up and eventually it all flaked away, although I would have used her baby oil if I'd brought it with us that week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cradle-cap-4#post-1926374 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 16:54:47 +0000 matador84 1926374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really thick, scaly and yellowy. Lots of oil to soak the head and combed it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cradle-cap-4#post-1926348 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 16:27:55 +0000 Chuckles 1926348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, cradle cap is a little yellow-ish usually with thicker scales/flakes than regular dry skin </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cradle-cap-4#post-1926345 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 16:20:39 +0000 Foodnerd81 1926345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: same here. The flakes were really thick and oily. Coconut oil and gently scrubbing with the soft baby hair brush got rid f them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cradle-cap-4#post-1926340 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 16:02:35 +0000 PrincessBaby 1926340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO had a few patches of super scaly skin on her scalp at one point when she was tiny...I remember at a recommendation on here, I used a little coconut oil on the dry spots and a very fine tooth comb and the flakes came off in the comb and never came back. It was amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cradle-cap-4#post-1926337 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 15:59:16 +0000 regberadaisy 1926337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When does dry skin cross over into cradle cap territory? </p> <p>DD 2 was born with dry flaky skin on the top of her head. Now it's only on the very top / tip of her head. </p>
