We always used baby oil. Applied it liberally and then rubbed it off with a soft towel.

We used to rub baby oil onto our son’s scalp every morning (we placed a towel behind his head so any cradle cap flakes would be collected by the towel). Then that evening we would shampoo his hair. Cradle cap was all sorted in 3 weeks. We were advised not to pick the cradle cap as this can lead to some of bub’s hair being pulled out as well.

the nurse said that you could just gently pick some of it off as well

Have you tried rubbing coconut or olive oil on bubs heads

Olive oil works a treat, we used a fine comb after leaving the olive oil on for about 10 mins. Worked for my 3 daughters.

My daughter had a mild case od cradle cap and i didn’t know. Another mum suggested washing her hair every second day and then rubbing in a few drops of baby oil after towel drying her hair. Did that and it was gone in less than a week. My daughter is turning 2 and i stopped a while ago but it never came back. Good luck
