cradle cap

Hi ladies my first baby is 6weeks old now and has cradle cap. I was so worried I had done something wrong but thankfully that isn't the case as I didn't know anything about it so I did some research.  My question is how can I get rid of it? Its not affecting him but it just looks bad to look at. I bought a cream called dermcrem for dermatitis and nappy rash and I think its improving it a bit but what else can I try? Thanks :)

Coconut oil works great. Put it on his head and let it sit about 10 mins before bath. Worked great for both of mine!

Use baby owl and a soft baby brush to clear it from his scalp. Good luck!

Try baby oil or even olive oil, that should clear it right up!
