Cradle Cap Home Remedies & Natural Cures

 

 

Mineral Oil

For a cradle cape that is thick, put on a mild mineral oil such as Baker’s P & S Liquid.  You can get it at a drugstore over-the-counter.  Put this on at night and then use a fine toothed comb to comb out the scale in the morning.  Then wash it out.  This is one of the best cradle cap home remedies.

***

If cradle cap begins inching down behind onto the neck and behind the ears, you can put a 1% or .5% hydrocortisone cream on the area.  This is available without a prescription at the drugstore. If you put this cream on 3 times each day, it should make the crust go away.

Cod Liver Oil Home Remedy for Cradle Cap

For a good cradle cap home remedy, give your baby a very small quantity of cod liver oil every day.  You can put it in a little milk.

***

Put cod liver oil and vitamin E directly onto the cradle cap area at night and then lightly brush it out in the morning.

***

Put a little baby oil on your baby’s scalp and then brush the hair.  Do this each day until it is gone.

***

This is a natural remedy for cradle cap that works wonders!  Put real butter (not margarine) on your baby’s head.  Then brush it out with a comb and after that wash your baby’s head to remove the rest of the butter.

***

To two tablespoons of olive oil add two or three drops of lavender oil (real essential oil – not synthetic fragrance) and then use a soft brush after you apply it.

***

Put a dandruff shampoo like Selsun Blue on your baby’s head two times each week for two weeks.  My daughter had cradle cap when she was born and her doctor gave her a prescription for this.  Be careful not to get it in the eyes.

Coconut Oil Cradle Cap Natural Home Remedy

My friend suggested I rub extra virgin coconut oil into my baby’s scalp to cure cradle cap.  Sure enough it disappeared in about 3 days.  We would put this on an hour before giving her a bath.  It is also very good for the skin.  This is a great cradle cap home remedy.

***

Instead of putting baby oil or mineral oil (both are petroleum products) on my baby's scalp, I found a really good light lotion about the consistency of mineral oil.  This is organic with the main ingredients being aloe vera and coconut oil.  It's made by Ocean Lovers.

***

My daughter suffered from really bad scaly thick cradle cap.  I absolutely had tried everything under the sun.  One of my mom’s friends who has 9 children suggested that I mix half baby shampoo with half dandruff shampoo.  A patch about 2 inches across was gone in seven days!  Every night we would was her head with this during her bath.  I was really happy this worked so well.
