Have you experienced a moment of panic when he saw a yellow substance on the scaly head of your baby, or even on the ears, eyebrows or eyelids?

No need to worry. Cradle cap is not harmful to the baby, and is actually thought to be caused by the oil glands to respond to hormones in the mother stays in the body. Usually, a simple treatment will get rid of the problem very easily.

In an effort to reassure new mothers that cradle cap is not something to be angry, we asked some experienced mothers to share their solutions for cradle cap.

1. I used baby oil and a soft brush to try to break the thicker areas. I found this helps the appearance in a way that does not look bad, but it was not a cure.

2. My son was the cradle of the CAP really bad, but less than a week to do what the doctor says, he had disappeared. Take a soft brush for baby and you wash your hair, start gently brushing the front to the back in small circles. Then wash the hair and then repeat bath time until it disappears. If there is a place that is more resistant, you might want to spend more time on this area. Make sure not to push too hard on the head and before you know it is gone.

3. Each of my three children have access to cradle cap. This is probably due to my being with them extra sweet when washing their newborns. I found the best way to get rid of cradle cap has been getting the baby oil and rub on the scalp. I can take a large tooth comb and gently comb. Dry skin is loose and caught in the comb. After combing the majority of the dead skin, I can wash the baby's hair. That would take care of the problem of cradle cap and usually it does not return.

4. My daughter had bad cradle cap and very little hair. When she was in the bath and her hair was wet, I gently rub the head with baby oil (not too much or be very oily hair) and comb his hair soft to get rid of dry skin. It worked and eventually grew his hair and cradle cap off.

5. My baby has experienced a bout of cradle cap, and we first of all with our pediatrician, and also asked friends and family for the excellent advice on how to delete it. We ended up using a mild baby shampoo and only wash our baby's hair every two days to prevent it from drying out further. We have also used baby oil, and applied to the area to keep hydrated. Finally, the cradle cap went away, and everything was fine!

6. Use a bit of baby oil and massage the baby's head. That to take a comb and comb "against the" grain, washing hair.

7. When my first son had cradle cap, his doctor said just to be sure to clean the head well during his bath. It worked, but it took some time to go. Then, when my youngest was in daycare, they told me to use baby oil and wipe. This was much faster.

8. I used head and shoulders dandruff shampoo. My pedestrian recommended. It worked very well.
Now you know how to treat that crusty cradle cap and realize that this is not something to panic about, and there are a few different remedies that have proved their efficiency, beautifully. So, leave the baby oil, soft brush or a comb and get ready to spend a little quality time with your baby.
