Cradle cap

What’s your experience with cradle cap? My LO had it but I’ve oiled her scalp regularly (2x/3x a day) and have picked it off and it’s not come back or showing any irritation or redness. It does say not to pick it online but I already did 🙆🏽‍♀️ anyone else done similar to me??

My toddler got it recently and i just rubbed coconut oil on her hair/scalp before bed then a nit comb in the morning to scrape it off. Worked a treat xx

I just used a cradle cap shampoo a few times and brushed with a soft bristle brush 🤷🏼‍♀️

My son had it when he was a few weeks old. I put coconut oil on and left it for an hour, then I scrubbed it off with a soft bristle brush in the bath. I moisturize his head along with the rest of his body after bath every night and it's never come back

For the most part, I used breast milk and coconut oil and then brushed it out, but I picked at the loose bits to get them off. I assumed it meant like don’t really go ham picking at it cause I’ve seen pictures of babies scalps going really red and raw if you pull at it too much without loosening it up first

Went away on its own around 6 months 🤷 I used to gently rub her scalp, either with my fingertips or a washcloth, to get all the dry flakes off. We did start using a massage oil on her scalp around then which probably helped.
