How Tubby Todd Helps with Cradle Cap

Little one’s cradle cap won’t last forever, but we know it can sometimes seem like it will. Unfortunately, your infant’s cradle cap symptoms can persist for months and months. Luckily, there’s nothing to worry about! Cradle cap is basically just baby dandruff! Unpleasant and a little bit gross, but that’s really all it is. That doesn’t mean your newborn has to suffer through it though.

Unlike eczema, cradle cap isn’t usually irritating to baby. The actual cause for cradle cap is still unknown, but you’ll definitely know it when you see it! Categorized by thick, yellowish patches of dry skin on your babe’s scalp, it’s really no fun! But the important thing to remember is that it’s totally normal! Millions of babies have cradle cap and it doesn’t mean your child isn’t clean enough—or that you’ve been doing anything wrong. Here at Tubby Todd, we know how it feels to want to be able to give your newborn baby happy, smooth skin and get rid of all those flakes! That’s why we created our Bye-Bye Cradle Cap Gel, to give every parent the confidence to tackle their baby’s persistent, irritating cradle cap. Don’t forget—cradle cap isn’t inflammation! It’s not typically painful for your baby but if their dry skin patches look inflamed instead of just flaky, or your newborn appears uncomfortable, you should ask your baby’s pediatrician whether it could also be eczema. It’s possible to have both cradle cap and eczema of course, but asking the experts is always best!

So, how can Tubby Todd help you with your baby’s cradle cap? With our Bye-Bye Cradle Cap Bundle! We know you only want to use the best for your baby. That’s why TT products are formulated to be gentle on your sensitive skin, yet strong enough to get the job done! Even though cradle cap is essentially a form of dandruff (but for newborns) you absolutely do not want to be using any harsh adult dandruff shampoos. Instead, try our gentle but effective Bye-Bye Bundle routine! Our products are made without irritants like SLS/SLES, parabens, and synthetic fragrances. Unlike a lot of powerful skincare products, ours rely on the power of plant-based ingredients, no steroids here! And for any little ones with dietary restrictions, everything at TT is made free from gluten and dairy. Don’t know if TT is a fit for your fam? Each product in our Bye-Bye-Cradle Cap Bundle is backed by our Worry-Free Guarantee! Don’t immediately love it? Get in touch and we’ll make it right! That’s how confident we are that you’ll love our products.

Wondering how Cradle Cap Gel works to help relieve your little one’s cradle cap? Bye-Bye Gel is a gentle shampoo specifically formulated to wash away those unwanted flakes. Nourish your baby’s scalp with hydrating ingredients like Aloe Vera Leaf Juice and Olive Fruit Oil while the naturally derived Zinc Pyrithione works to tackle those flakes at their source for smoother, healthier skin and scalp. Work the gel into baby’s scalp in gentle, circular motions using our Silicone Scrub Brush for best results.

Don’t forget the last two steps to round out little one’s routine! Lather like it matters with our Hair + Body Wash to finish bathtime as usual and rinse out that Cradle Cap Gel. Finally, once you’ve dried off from the bath, apply our cult-classic cream, the All Over Ointment. 15,000 five-star reviews are hard to argue with! Our miracle in a jar is safe for sensitive skin and works great for the whole fam! Always smooth, never greasy with a soothing texture and deeply hydrating ingredients like Colloidal Oatmeal, Beeswax and Jojoba Esters, you’ll want a jar just for yourself. AOO’s gentle (but powerful!) ingredients like 1% Colloidal Oatmeal, Beeswax and Jojoba Esters help to keep baby’s skin nourished, hydrated, and happy. Apply a thin layer on little one’s scalp as the last step in our cradle cap routine. Don’t worry about it staining the sheets! It comes out in the wash. As hardworking as our bodycare products are, they do their magic best as part of a routine! So don’t forget to repeat this multi-step process daily for the best results!
