I rubbed some coconut oil in, really generously, and let it sit for 30 or so minutes. Then I used a fine tooth comb and very carefully combed (it will pull the hair out if you aren't careful) the cradle cap out. </p> <p>It took a couple of applications, spread over a few days to get most of it out but it did work! Oh and when you wash their hair afterwards, really work the shampoo in, and do a couple of washes/rinses, otherwise his hair will be super oily the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-cradle-cap#post-2326377 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 19:44:12 +0000 mrbee 2326377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rosegold: I've also heard that Selsun Blue works wonders on cradle cap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-cradle-cap#post-2326366 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 19:35:40 +0000 rosegold 2326366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>little bit of selsun blue was suggested to me by my pediatrician. once a week til it's gone. i only did it two times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-cradle-cap#post-2326365 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 19:35:36 +0000 ladybee 2326365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a suggestion but my 2 has the same. I noticed it this summer when I washing daily, switched to every other and wash with dove body wash. It's better but still there. 😐 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-cradle-cap#post-2326362 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 19:34:25 +0000 Alba4 2326362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2 year old has cradle cap on part of his scalp. I wash his hair every other day. Does anyone have this same issue with their LO? Can you suggest a shampoo that is more gentle? How the heck do we get rid of this? We've been using Burt's Bees baby shampoo.<br /> Thanks. </p>
