A. That must be cradle cap. Cradle cap will disappear on its own. It usually disappears by 8th month to 12th month. Massage your baby's scalp and use a gentle brush with soft bristles to brush the scalp daily. Massage your baby's hair with oil to help restore balance to your baby's skin, while nourishing and moisturizing the same. Use a mild moisturizer for the scalp after shampooing. Ask your doctor which brand is safest for your kid's skin. Keep your baby's scalp dry and clean. Use a shampoo that is formulated especially for babies.
