    Default cradle cap

    When Alana was little I had an essential oils blend for cradle cap but can't remember where I got it from but do remember it was via here! Has anyone tried the Moo Goo infant scalp cream? Miller has cradle cap and both girls still get dry/itchy scalps.

    Im not sure but I just use a bit of olive or almond oil on eamon and then use a flannel in the bath to gently rub it away. helps that he doesnt have much hair so its quite easy to pick off too.

    I have tried the moogoo infant scalp cream and can say it was excellent. I rubbed it into his hair (it smells lovely) then used a baby comb to basically comb the cradle cap out of his scalp.

    Hmm, good to hear. DD has quite a bit of hair so I was wondering if that would be a problem, but it doesn't seem to be even when using moogoo. Do you have to use it repeatedly, if so how often? And did you wash the hair afterwards? Thanks!

    I found making a paste with bicarb and water rubbed in and let to dry before the bath then washed off gently on the bath worked for us.

    The moogoo has worked well for us, although I have to constantly use it - it tends to come back.
