What causes cradle cap?

• The cause is unknown. But we do know that cradle
  cap is not caused by poor hygiene or allergies.

• Some experts believe that the hormones a baby
  receives from his mother at the end of pregnancy
  over stimulate the baby's oil-producing
  (seborrheic) glands, resulting in cradle cap.
• Irritation from a yeast that grows in the sebum
  (the substance produced by the glands) is also
  thought to be a possible culprit. But there's no
  consensus on the cause

How should I treat my baby's cradle cap?

• Gently massage your baby's scalp with your
  fingers or a soft brush to loosen the scales.
• Shampoo more frequently (up to once a day), but
  be sure to rinse out all the soap or shampoo.
  After shampooing, gently brush your baby's scalp
  with a soft brush or a terrycloth towel.
• Some parents have had success using baby shampoos
  developed especially for cradle cap.

Cradle Cap Treatments

• Incredible treatment offered by coconut oil helps
  to loosen the scales and flakes. Its
  anti-bacterial and anti-fungal actions make them
  easier to remove as it addresses the root cause
  rather than just treating the symptom.
• Extra virgin organic coconut oil acts as an
  amazing moisturizer that helps to relieve the
  restless moments of the parents.
