5 Natural Ways to Cure Cradle Cap Fast!

There’s really nothing like that soft, smooth newborn skin. But, sometimes you’ll start to notice unsightly scaly patches appearing on your cute baby’s head. What’s that all about?? 

Chances are it’s cradle cap—or infantile seborrheic dermatitis. Think of it as a form of infant dandruff. Unlike adult dandruff, though, there’s no itching or irritation. Just scales on the scalp, forehead, or eyebrows that are yellow tinged and typically greasy. Sometimes these scales also show up in the groin, armpits, ears, and eyelids.

Even though it isn’t exactly how you pictured baby’s skin looking, cradle cap is nothing to worry about. In fact, it affects up to 70% of babies in the first three months of life. 

Nobody knows for sure why so many babies get cradle cap, but some theories include:
An imbalanced gut microbiome
A yeast infection
A weakened immune system
Nutritional imbalances
And elevated maternal hormones
