Question

Accepted Answer

If your baby has dandruff or dry, flaky skin on the scalp, it's quite common and usually not serious. It may be cradle cap, which appears as white or yellowish flakes and is often seen in newborns or young babies. To manage it, gently massage your baby’s scalp with coconut oil or baby oil, leave it on for 15–20 minutes, then use a soft baby brush or cloth to loosen the flakes. After that, wash the scalp with a mild baby shampoo. Avoid using adult shampoos or scrubbing hard. If the dandruff doesn’t improve or worsens, it’s best to consult a pediatrician to rule out any infection or skin condition.
