cradle cap

My daughter is a little over 5 months and has cradle cap. Anyone know any tricks on helping it go away?
Thanks

I heard baby oil works apply to hair n comb the flake or when you are giving your Lo a bath add a little baby oil to the bath and comb the flakes out

That's what we used...back in the day!  Be sure it's a fine-toothed comb. You can shampoo after the oil treatment.

this is what i did... oil her scalp.Then take a fine tooth ccomb and just rub it through the hair. repeat. repeat until it seems like the flakes are stopping. (dont overdo it or you can scratch the head raw). when your done immediately wash the hair to get the oil and dandruff out.... do not oil head again until the next time you plan on doing it.

My son had it too. I found Aveno with the purple cap. It worked great
