for our bout of cradle cap we switched to using shampoo on her hair. I also put olive oil on her haid and brished off as much as i could and than shampooed it out it was gone in 2 days.
Unrefined (unprocessed) coconut oil is super versatile. It's effective at soothing nipples if you're breast feeding. Your baby will ingest some of whatever is on your nipples, and unrefined coconut oil is easier on their bellies than chemical based alternatives. You can also use it to soothe little rashes and moisturize dry spots.
