help..cradle cap!

Does anyone know anything I can do to lesson my daughters cradle cap? She's 4 months old, we bathe her every other day and brush her hair with a soft baby brush since she doesn't have much hair to begin with.

Is there anything we can do or should we just leave it be? My oldest never had it when she was a baby.

    I put baby oil on her head and gently massaged. But it should go away on its own.

    We have always been told to help prevent it to do a gentle scrub with your fingertips. We've never had it but one of my daycare parents say to use baby oil.

    Baby oil with Shea butter! And comb off all the flakes during lo's bath!

    Massage baby oil into her scalp and comb it away during a bath. I always combed in all directions and put a little bit of pressure (not hard). I was scared to pick at it but the oil n comb did the trick.
