There’s really nothing like that soft, smooth newborn skin. But, sometimes you’ll start to notice unsightly scaly patches appearing on your cute baby’s head. What’s that all about??
Chances are it’s cradle cap-or infantile seborrheic dermatitis. Think of it as a form of infant dandruff. Unlike adult dandruff, though, there’s no itching or irritation. Just scales on the scalp, forehead, or eyebrows that are yellow tinged and typically greasy. Sometimes these scales also show up in the groin, armpits, ears, and eyelids.
Even though it isn’t exactly how you pictured baby’s skin looking, cradle cap is nothing to worry about. In fact, it affects up to 70% of babies in the first three months of life.
Nobody knows for sure why so many babies get cradle cap, but some theories include:
An imbalanced gut microbiome
A yeast infection
A weakened immune system
Nutritional imbalances
And elevated maternal hormones
But I’m guessing the real reason you’re here is to find out what you can do to get rid of cradle cap-and stat!
Luckily, it’s just a cosmetic issue that probably bothers you more than it bothers your baby. And since cradle cap doesn’t hurt or itch, the easiest option is to just let it be. In most cases cradle cap will clear on its own within a few months.
But if that just won’t do, there are five strategies to help get rid of it quickly and naturally, including:
Soften with oil: Some parents find simply massaging a raw vegetable oil into the scalp once a day works wonders to calm inflammation and nourish baby’s tender skin.
Make a special ACV shampoo: It’s probiotic and antifungal to help balance out the scalp naturally. Mix 2 TB raw apple cider vinegar with 1/4 cup filtered water. Pour the mixture over baby’s scalp, making sure that none gets in their eyes. Massage the scalp for a few minutes. Let sit 10 minutes, then rinse with water.
Exfoliate with a brush: After using the special shampoo, or several hours after applying an oil, brush the scalp gently. The softened scales will come off much more easily, without damaging the scalp itself. Just be sure to use a natural brush with very soft bristles.
If you don’t see any progress after a few weeks, it may signal a deeper issue, like a gut imbalance or mineral deficiency. If you suspect that’s the case, these natural remedies can help:
Supplements for mama: Breastfeeding moms can pass on important nutrients, specifically biotin, zinc, B6, selenium, and manganese.
Probiotics for baby: Boost baby’s gut flora by adding an baby probiotic to their bottle.
Although you-understandably-want to make sure baby is comfortable and healthy, remember that cradle cap is really just a cosmetic issue. And it’s only temporary.
Don’t stress yourself out if baby’s cradle cap isn’t getting much better. Do what you can to keep baby comfortable, and if it becomes significantly inflamed, itchy, cracked, or oozes fluid, contact your child’s pediatrician.

Breast milk 🗣️ my baby’s cradle cap was getting bad!! A week in of putting BM on his scalp and it was almost completely cleared! Now, it’s non-existent! :) I hope this works for everyone like it did for my baby! :3
Wow, thank you for sharing!
How many times a week would you recommend using the ACV rinse or coconit oil please?
I absolutely loved mustela micellar water follows by aquaphor! Worked perfectly
Can we use sweet almond oil??
What I do with my baby girl: any spots or dry skin or even a scratch that she did to her face when crying I put Breast Milk on there and within 24-48hrs it’s gone. B.M is Liquid Gold. Mamas believe in the process trust me!
My girl is also suffering from this cradle cap but due to cradle cap her face is full of
Small pimples,redness?is to normal?
Our baby also has cradle cap on his face, we have decided to just let it flake off on its own.
Thank youuuu
What if baby's on formula?
Can you drink kombucha while breastfeeding?
It’s really consumer discretion! Since alcohol content isn’t widely regulated in kombucha, most formal recommendations are to avoid it. But many breastfeeding mamas still choose to drink it.
I drank Kombucha while pregnant and then breastfeeding, until I noticed I was getting sick. I was having the same symptoms of a diabetic person. I stopped drinking it and don’t feel those symptoms any more. Glucose test came back negative also.
Hi Mama Natural, Love the video and would like to give you a heartfelt thanks for the invaluable advice you give. I bought a natural baby oil (just like you advise in your video) and this has been amazing for my baby's cradle cap. I got one called tiny troubles (coconut variety) from mama nature because of the good reviews. I also used the soft brush and now his scalp is as smooth as silk. I was wondering, does this tiny troubles have anything to do with you as your names are so similar?
No that’s not our brand, but it sounds like an awesome option!! I hope it works for you! Thanks for watching 🥰
Great tips
Thank you!
Super interesting! can you share your source on the microbiome of baby and mom ?
Which probiotics should we give to baby
We are definitely partial to our own! www.mamanatural.com/baby-probiotic-drops/
Hi with the coconut oil. Do I need to let it sit before brushing or combing it before rinsing it out?
You don’t need to let it sit-if it’s in it’s solid form it will quickly turn into a liquid as it comes in contact with body heat.
Can you use cooking vegetable oil ?
omg please don’t use that
My sons loosing hair! Help My sons 2 months very bad cradle … should I still do the apple cider?
Hair loss in a newborn/baby is VERY common and apple cider rinses won’t help that. It will come back ;-)
Omg thank you so much, we currently suffering with cradle
You're so welcome!
Does anyone know what that head support is in 1:52 where the baby is getting their hair washed in the pink bath?
Jolly Jumper Baby Eze is very similar. This is what I use and it is great!
My son has cradle cap on his ears under his nose and eyebrows, how would i treat it?
Try: Dr. Eddie’s happy cappy medicated shampoo kit. I just bought this and works amazing in few days but Doctors advice would be best. 💜
Can you use apple cider vinegar with the mother?
Unpasteurized apple cider vinegar should be used with caution or avoided in pregnancy, postpartum, and infants, unless you feel completely comfortable with any risks!
What about avacado oil?
Avocado oil can be a great option!
It stuck into the hair .I cannot remove or pull it with my fingers. Sometimes when I pull the scab its still wet inside and sometimes it bleeds
@@conyangtravels6308 Why would you pull it 🤬🤬
If you're in UK use... dentinox cradle cap shampoo my son had it so bad but it literally fell off with that shampoo
It's so interesting that they have a product specifically for it there!
@@mamanatural best part.. it worked
@@12tahminas which one did you try ?
@@Prettywithtatts what do you need which one i tried? Dentinox shampoo for cradle cap
The doctor gave him some shampoo he doesn't have hair at the top anymore 😭
Cool……….
I've seen some bad bad cradle cap😢😢😢😢😢
Every health professional has told me not to use oil if any sort. Why is everyone on these videos continuing to do the opposite.
It worked for my baby
I did head and shoulders for my 2 month old doctor recommended selsun 8
That can definitely work-although many folks may want to avoid the chemicals in those products ;-)
Cradle crap from a pus. Can I still do these home remedies?
If you think your baby's skin may have an infection, please contact your pediatrician!
i use baby oil and petroleum jelly 😊its works for me
So glad you found something that works well for you!
DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT USE OLIVE OIL IT MADE THINGS WORST! Only use coconut oil!!!!
Thanks mama I was about to use olive oil
@@hazelchivunga7734 no problem boo! We used the coconut oil and got the cradle cap up with a baby comb it worked wonders & make sure you wash your babies hair thoroughly after.
What about if it’s on the baby’s face?
You can use the same treatments!!
coconut oil is comedogenic. it will make us break out so i would avoid that on skin (face skin)
Sarikatimmi I’m not sure where you got that from, but I use organic cold press coconut oil on my baby face and the rash disappears overnight.
@@christinalambart8930 dermatologists
but i do use it on the scalp. just not on my facial skin as it clogs pores
I used a milk bath with breast milk to bathe my bb… 😐
Cool…
Did that help?
@@Suthyersol it did. i just save the leftover milk that he didnt manage to finish or milk that we left out for too long.
I have a 10 week old baby and cradle cap is annoying. I’ve heard Dr. Eddie happy medicated shampoo/body wash kit and I bought it… it’s truly amazing, seen results in a few days. Try it! 💜
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
