So...about 2-3 months after Jade was born I kept noticing how there begun to be little flakes in her hair. I didn't notice it a lot at the beginning (prob because I was sleep deprived) but kept noticing how if I would scratch it more and more flakes would come off. Gross. So, I looked into it online and decided it must be this "cradle cap" stuff that you pretty much have to scrub off. I read some different things about how to handle this, wash their hair everyday, use a brush, use VEGETABLE OIL etc etc. Hmmmm. I decided to try the veggie oil out of all things. The first time i did it...haha, i put baby in the bumbo and added just a cap full of oil and rubbed it all around. Then showered her and after, comb scratched the little flakes off. TONS. OF. IT. It was crazy. I did this for about 5 days. She loved it, ummm jk.
"oh my!" Mommy whats on my head...?
The best thing to do was to wash her hair EVERY single day and to comb it after to get the flakes out. All in all this took about 2 weeks total to get rid of. Maybe a little less.
ha. This looks so gross. But I tell ya it worked!
Thats it.
I didn't know about this! Urban had it so bad it started bleeding and they had to give him a shot. We had to use selsum blue on him for months. So frustrating!
ReplyDeleteAvery had the same thing. We bought some "special" shampoo the Dr recommended and it went away after a while.
