Default Cradle Cap

BlankHi All Mom

I have a 3 month old baby boy and he has severe cradle cap. What did you all do to solve the problem.
Is it common?

Please help

Samantha

It's fairly common.

The traditional remedy is to apply olive oil or almond oil and
soak it for a while, then wash with a mild shampoo. Repeat as
needed.

I would not use almond oil on a baby, particularly if there is any
history of food allergies in the family. It's not worth the risk, in my
opinion.

My Health visitor told me to rub some vaseline on his hair and I it worked
wonders! (I can't recomend it enough).
I tried olive oil too but that didn't work very well.
