Breastmilk and Cradle Cap????

[thejohnsonhome]

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.

We've used coconut oil. Rub it on, leave for 15 minutes and then rinse it off. Worked well.

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.

We tried that and everything else.  We found that the only thing that got rid of it was time.  My 5 year old's finally went away at about 3.5 year's old.  I'm still waiting for my 3 year old's to be gone.  However, they had it *really really really* bad.

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