A. If your baby is itching their scalp and scratching it with nails, it might be due to dry scalp, cradle cap, or mild irritation. To help, gently wash the scalp with a mild, baby-friendly shampoo and avoid harsh soaps. You can apply a small amount of coconut oil or baby oil to soften any flakes and soothe itching. Keep your baby’s nails trimmed to prevent skin damage. If the itching continues, the scalp looks red, swollen, or has sores, consult a pediatrician for proper treatment.
