Cradle Cap
My LG has had cradle cap since birth. It has gotten a little better but she still has a large patch on the top of her head. We wash her hair once a week with baby shampoo and I brush it every day.
Does anyone else have this issue and know of any good treatments?

It is visible but doesn't appear to be itchy. I think I'll probably jusy leave it too, I just wasn't sure if it would clear up now that she's had it for over 2 years 🤷🏻♀️
My boy had it quite a lot at birth, our doctor did say we could just leave it as it isn’t harmful but we ended up looking in to oils to loosen the flakes. We used kokoso coconut oil and after leaving it in for a short while, it lifted off really easy with the frida brush. I would have left it if it wasnt for the way it looked when he very little hair 🙃 just don’t leave oil on for too long as it can make it worse I think!
Yes coconut oil helps soften it and then it comes away quite easily.
Oh fantastic, will try coconut oil. Thank you!

Is it visible or itchy for her? Our smallest twin has some on his head which must be a recent development as he didn't have it as a baby. His hair covers it and he doesn't seem to notice it so we are just leaving it tbh. Our eldest had a bit but was covered by his hair so any oils etc would have made him have greasy hair 🤷🏻♀️
