In the baby section they have these brushes with really soft bristles that you lightly massage over the scalp when washing their hair or when applying the baby oil. They also make creams for cradle cap. Hope this helps!

I gently scrubbed my baby's scalp and then combed thru with a fine tooth comb it helped a lot, took her a few weeks to get completely over it even doing that tho.  Good luck!!

My Son is 2 and stillhas it reall bad. We are using a brush with a harder bristle, I am massaging lotion on to his head before bath time and then combing his hair after bath time, to loosen the dry skin...this has  helped a a little !! His doctor say it is not a concern and since his hair is pretty thick his Dad tells me not to worry!! But I am a Momma so I worry! Good Luck!!

I told her but she was worried about it getting in her son's eyes. My other friend has a little girl and this worked amazing with her! Thank you ladies!

My baby's doctor said to use dandruff shampoo and a baby brush massage it in for about a min then rinse.  Be careful since it is not tear free.

MY BABY HAD IT ALTHOUGH IT WASN'T HORRIBLY BAD THE PHARMACIST TOLD ME TO WASH HIS HAIR WITH HEAD AND SHOULDERS AND BRUSH IT AND COMB IT AND THEN RINSE IT. IT HELPED ALOT! SHE SAID USE IT FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS. ALSO THEY SALE STUFF FOR IT AT WALMART AND CVS BY THE BABY LOTIONS AND BODY WASH ETC.
