Question

I think my four month old has dandruf what can i do to help with the itching?

Answer 1

its proably cradle cap. you can massage gently some baby oil into the scalp about 10 mins before bathing the baby. you can also buy something for cradle cap i know walmart sells it in the baby shampoo abd baby bath section.

Answer 2

It's probably cradle cap.  Rub baby oil into her scalp and let it sit there awhile and then rinse her hair and use a baby comb to get it out.

Answer 3

its probably cradle cap both of my sons had it. if you loosen it up with baby oil or vaseline (or buy the cradle c**p oil from the baby isle at walmart which is just a baby oil vaseline mix) then wash her hair it will help. My doctor had me wash my boys' hair with Selson Blue but only a small amount because you have to be careful not to get it in their eyes but it cleared it up right away and never returned

Answer 4

My daughters had the same problem and my doctor told me to rub some baby oil on my girls head after they take a bath and it should be cleared up in about a week maybe even less!

Answer 5

rub some vaseline on it after a bath, and within a few weeks it should of cleared up

Answer 8

I'm sure it is cradle cap. People say to use baby oil and what not on it but I disagree. I looked up exactly what cradle cap is and it is the mothers hormones leaving the baby's body. It comes out a kind of oily. It comes out where their is hair. On the head, eyebrows, and eye lashes. My daughter got it on her eyelids(not real bad). I noticed it was oily around her eyes. Wiping it off worked. The best thing is to wash your baby's head frequently.  

Answer 9

its cradle cap put baby oil and then comb it out with a comb
