Has anyone actually tried putting breastmilk on cradle cap? I know breastmilk is good for almost anything but just squirt it on, massage and comb?? Should I stop shampooing her hair as well?

Never even thought of it. I.personally dont think shampoo is necessary. Some.alsonsay olive oil, i think almond oil or coconut oil may work too.

Don't know about breast milk but I use olive oil. Just rub it on the rinse off. Worked great for DS.

I've never tried breastmilk for cradle cap. I used coconut oil, left it on for a good 15 minutes, brushed off the scales with a soft toothbrush, then washed with mild natural soap. It never came back. I agree that shampooing isn't really necessary for babies. I shampoo my baby about 2-3 times a month. Same with our toddler. Of course, rinse and scrub the scalp well in between :)

Aubrey had it bad, almost all her hair fell our. The only thing that worked was coconut oil. I let it sit for awhile and rinsed it off.

I used my milk on my second's cradle cap. It didn't completely go away, but it helped.
