Cradle crap

Yeah, I meant crap  
My 4 month old has cradle cap. Today I caught her fussing and scratching her head until there was flakes all over her head, everywhere. I rubbed some aquaphor on it, seemed to get better. Would brushing it off help? it seems to just grow back? Im afraid to rub anything to hard on her head because she has her soft spot still.

I've heard to use baby oil and comb it out

hehe yah i meant crap

I picked my daughters w/my fingernails cause everythingI tried didnt work. I didn't do it too hard though. Using a soft baby brush and comb should help. Put lotion on it after you wash her hair.

baby oil and a comb to pick it out is what worked for us.

My son is almost 2 and STILL has fucking cradle cap

My aunt would use the baby oil lotion stuff for my cousins and it worked awesome! She just used a fine tooth comb and gently combed it out...

I tried everything, and this is the only thing that made it not come back!

Picking at it? Sry I don't know what you mean lol

Yes, picking it off gently with my fingernails. I know it sounds horrible, but it didnt seem to bother her. I tried everything and this was all that worked.

Thats what I thought lol. Yeah its the only thing that worked w/us too. I got tired of trying diff things so i picked at it.

I'm obsessed with scratching it off
