I thought for sure that Elaina had cradle cap at a week old. We kept it dry, combed it out, and watched it go away within a week. Looking back, this was just her newborn skin peeling of her head! A few weeks ago I noticed a thick, orange, layer on her scalp that didn't want to go away.
This was cradle cap!
So we took two parts baking soda with one part coconut oil and mixed well. It is going to stay a little dry and clumpy looking. I wet Elaina's hair and rubbed it in, massaging the scalp. I rinsed and shampooed. Completely gone!

The next day, her hair was looking a little greasy. I shampooed two more times and her head was back to normal. Her hair was silky and cradle cap free!
