Cradle Cap Remedy For Baby With 4c Or Tightly Coiled Hair

Cradle cap drove me crazy for a while. To the point where I had decided to let it be and just leave the baby like that as it does not hurt the baby. But it can turn into big scales which quite frankly are hard to look at.

Chances are it probably bothers you more than other people considering not a single person said a thing about it, and people had a lot of "advice".

I tried the oiling and gently brushing thing but it did not work for us. My bun was born with a full head of coiled hair, this hair is 4c - The Buns Hair. Black babies seem to be born with straight hair? I don't have much experience with this as I have seen very few newborns and most of them are always bundled up and wearing a hat. But the ones whose heads I saw had straight hair.

The using a toothbrush or baby brush obviously did not work us because her hair was coiled from the get go.

This is what worked for  us:

Things I Did Not Know About Babies

These are some of the things about babies that caught me off guard:

• Farting
• Cradle Cap
• Their Nails
• Body Hair

Other things weren't such a shock as I had read about them on-line. For a more detailed account of my little surprises -


Farting
Yes they are human and have all the necessary parts to toot but it still caught me off guard. A tiny newborn is gassy but it is odorless, then one day BOOM it stinks. I mean it really really reeks. Perhaps its their little tummies adjusting. Then you ask how can such a cute little thing be so stinky? Fortunately they ball aren't gaggers and they stink for short periods then back to normal.


Cradle Cap
This bothered me at first, as I did not know how to handle it. I found a pretty good solution HERE. My little bun.
