  • Give moo goo scalf cream a go. It’s amazing!! My son had it bad and I tried all these products and I got moo goo and it was gone in 3 days!!


  • I only ever used baby oil. It seemed to do the trick.


  • Olive oil is nice massaged in. Will look oily but does work.


  • I just used baby oil. Worked heaps better than the proper stuff for it.


  • I found lots of olive oil slathered on every night works. The cradle cap gradually flakes off


  • ergo oil from a chemist works!


  • Don’t scratch it, moisturise!


  • Baby oil and a comb


  • My kids also suffered cradle cap and I used olive oil twice a day and soft brush and few months later it faded.


  • I just used baby massage oil and a nice soft baby brush, rub a little in after their bath and brush it off


  • Both of my bubs suffered with this, I use vasoline.


  • My sister in law uses olive oil.


  • Olive oil massaged into the scalp regularly.


  • What did you end up doing?


  • Olive oil worked for us with a comb and got it out


  • Olive oil does wonders and has no chemicals


  • Baby oil. At the first sign of any build up, put in on and leave it to soak in before brushing it out with a soft brush, then wash their hair. You sometimes have to do it more than once depending on how bad the build up is.


  • Olive oil is great!

    Gently wash bubs head with a little baby soap, dry and gently brush with soft baby brush, then massage a little olive oil.


  • Baby oil n let it soak in. Then use a fine comb


  • I heard that you can gently use baby oil and a small comb or just rub it on there head, just be careful not to hurt their little heads
