When i found out about it and tried it with our youngest baby, the cradle cap cleared within days. no scratching or combing (and hence a lot less hair loss than with combing)! no scratching or combing (and hence a lot less hair loss than with combing)!. My baby was born with a full head of hair, but had cradle cap, and it almost all fell out before i could treat it. once i treated it and it went away, his hair stopped falling out. to treat it, soak his scalp in baby oil for about 15 mins before a bath and comb it in. then give him a bath (you may have to wash the hair twice to remove all the oil).. Doctors help you with trusted information about alopecia in cradle cap: dr. sparacino on can cradle cap make hair fall out: trauma (heat, chemical, physical) can damage hair protein and make it break off, which you would think is "falling out"..
Cradle cap does not cause hair to fall out. babies sometimes do have some hair falling out, their hair is very fine and they do spend a lot of time laying down. this is normal! maxine
