Cradle Cap

My friend Ani says she wants it to be her personal mission to spread the word that olive oil takes away cradle cap. So I thought I'd help her spread the word.

  1. From Ani: Here is the scoop for olive oil!
    Put some all over baby's scalp and rub it in. Don't be afraid to use a lot. Let it sit for like five minutes or so while baby is in bath...and then massage it, and use a comb and gently comb/massage baby's scalp. I also used a tooth brush and did the same thing. Then rinse! It should really loosen it up. Then repeat. I did it three times, and it was gone.
    Recently I noticed my daughter's scalp was looking dry, so I lathered her up, and washed it and it was gone! Plus her hair was super shiny!

  2. Ooh! Thank you! James had it and it was a huge pain. I could never really get rid of it. I'm planning on dealing with it for baby #2 too...so thank you!

  3. I think I will try this. Abby has bad cradle cap. My friend said to just put lotion on her head. It kind of worked but it was kind of gross because I'd put her to bed with helmet hair and it would still look a little greasy the next day.
