He just got a bit of cradle cap back at 21 months and we used dove body wash. It broke it up great! Previously we had been using dove bar soap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-worked-best-for-dry-scalp-in-older-baby#post-2255267 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 10:09:08 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2255267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our son has had dry, flaky scalp for what feels like his whole life (9mo). He definitely had cradle cap with the yellowy scales as a baby, but now it's just dry and flaky and only the top of his head. He doesn't have a lot of hair so it's pretty noticeable!</p> <p> I'm not sure if his soap is too drying, or if we're doing the wrong combo of treatment, too frequent bathing/not enough bathing, etc. We have done baby oil, coconut oil, vaseline, Aveeno lotion, etc. after bath as well as brushing the flakes out with a soft brush but it always comes back in a day or two. We wash his hair 2-3x per week.</p> <p>What combination worked best for you? I miss his fluffy, non greased up hair! </p>
