My youngest had it super bad. I'd use the oil and comb and cradle cap care and it wouldn't work. At first it would, but would come back, then it just wasn't happening. Doc had to prescribe a shampoo that you have to let sit and I swear it stung his little head bc he'd scream and scream until I could rinse it out, then after the treatments were done he became afraid of baths for almost a month, but it never came back. I'd try all the little tricks you can first and use whatever the doc prescribes as a last resort, but if it's needed it does work well.

Awful stuff. I hated it & the best thing that worked for me was baby oil. After every bath put a little on their head & gently rub it in with baby hair brush. Babes hair will look greasy at first but after a few hours it dries, leaving their head so soft & sweet smelling. It took just a few days to work &.I continued doing it after cradle cap was gone just cause it made baby smell so sweet.
