Our read on it
Cradle cap worries mothers more than it deserves: it is very common, painless for the baby, and usually resolves on its own. But it looks unpleasant, and the cream softens the flakes so they lift with gentle combing rather than scratching. Apply to the scalp, leave, then wash out. Works best with the cradle cap brush on this list.
Pros
- Softens flakes so they lift without scratching
- Paraben and fragrance free
- Inexpensive
- Pairs with the cradle cap brush for a better result
Cons
- Needs patience; the result is gradual not immediate
- Cradle cap often returns and needs repeating
Important safety information
Safe sleep: always place baby on their back to sleep, on a firm, flat, non-inclined surface, alone in their own crib or bassinet, with a fitted sheet only — no pillows, loose blankets, bumpers, or toys. Share a room, not a bed. (American Academy of Pediatrics & Safe to Sleep).
Never scratch or pick the flakes off with a nail: the scalp beneath is delicate and will bleed and inflame. If the scalp is red or inflamed, or the flaking spreads to the face and body, see a doctor since it may be a different condition. Avoid pressing on the soft fontanelle.
