I heard stimuling the scalp helped blood flow up there, and blood flow can maybe cause less cradle cap. So i would use a plastic facial washer (the kind that come with one of the brands) and massage scalp in bath while shampooing (with aveeno brand), and would also but the cocco butter oil in her hair and brush it with soft bristled brush, and the baby never got much cradle cap, just some dry skin flakes that initiatef the whole process.

I use Aveeno eczema baby lotion. Smooth it on scalp after washing with aveeno eczema baby wash. Its got good stuff in it like oatmeal and very gentle. It has no smell but works! It soothes and loosens it up very well. Got rid of my sons in 2 weeks. Good luck with whatever u choose.

Coconut oil! Gently smooth it into their scalp or gently comb it through. Leave it on as long as ya can before a bath. Try your best to not pick at it, you'll end up pulling out their hair too if they arent already bald.

Smooth olive oil through the whole scalp with a soft bristle brush and let it set for a while, then gently wash. It'll help but it won't get rid of it entirely. It goes away on its own eventually. Resist the temptation to pick at it.
