My kids had the worst cradle cap as babies. With my first babies (twin boys), I had no idea why my kid’s hair was matted down until my Mom came to visit. She told me that I needed to work on their cradle cap. I was too afraid to scrub their heads very hard so it was building into a very bad case. Their heads would even bleed if I scrubbed it to hard.
I tried lots of shampoos but nothing worked until I purchased this cradle cap comb and brush. I like it because the bristles are soft and rounded so I didn’t feel like it would hurt my baby’s head.
How to use the cradle cap comb and brush.
- Wet your child’s head a few minutes before their bath. This softens the skin.
- When you soap up their hair use this brush every time to work the shampoo into their head and hair.
All of the dry skin will not come off in one use! It takes multiple uses for the dry skin to go away. When I stopped using the brush our cradle cap came back so I just got in the habit of using it every bath for years. I was even seeing cradle cap on my youngest when she was 2-years-old. I had to get out the brush and use it on her again for another year.

One of my three babies had the worst cradle cap. I tried everything. Well, so I thought, I had no idea there was a cradle cap comb and brush, but that’s probably newer. My youngest baby is eight. 🙂
Thanks for sharing.
Carolyn says
Yes, I got this for my youngest. Isn’t it funny how many new baby products come out each year! 🙂

We used some kind of oil that was made for cradle cap. It was still not enough. This would have really been helpful.
Jena Proctor says
I wish I’d known about this when my oldest was born. She had a ton of hair and cradle cap. It looks like things have come a long way in just 4 years!
Tabitha says
This is an awesome brush! My little girl had the worst cradle cap and it was all I could do not to pick at it!
Brittany says
Oh I wish I would have known this last year! My little guy got it bad! Now my three year old seems to have the same thing going on. I didn’t think they could get it so late!

I don’t have any kids so I didn’t even know what cradle cap was. Thanks for sharing! I am sure new moms find it helpful.
Amanda says
I’ve never even heard of cradle cap! Then again, I don’t have kids but now when I do, I’ll know what it is and how to handle it! So glad you found such a nice brush for your baby!^^
Amanda Love says
I’ve never had to use this before but it’s definitely a must have for parents. It’s something that you can use and not worry about hurting your baby. Thanks for sharing your experience with it.

I need that brush! My son has it and we use coconut oil and then just comb it, but this looks like a great fix.
Carolyn says
I love it. I hope it helps you. I just lightly rub it on their head every time I shampoo my kids hair and it stops the cradle cap from forming.

I have a newborn so this brush is just what I need! Thank you for the write up.
