A. hi, the best remedy for cradle crap is coconut oil Take a couple of drops of coconut oil in hand and warm it by rubbing between your palms. Now, apply the oil on the areas of the baby that are affected and massage gently. Let it rest for about twenty minutes and brush off any flakes of scalp tissue that may have got dislodged during the massage. After twenty minutes, wash off the oil with lukewarm water and shampoo.
