POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. Dandruff in newborns is quite common and usually appears as a condition known as cradle cap. It manifests as yellowish or greasy flakes on the baby's scalp. To manage cradle cap, gently wash your baby's hair with a mild baby shampoo and use a soft brush or cloth to loosen the flakes. Avoid using harsh or adult shampoos, as these can irritate the baby's delicate skin. If the condition persists or becomes severe, you can apply a small amount of baby oil to the scalp and leave it for a short period before washing it off. If the dandruff or cradle cap doesn't improve, it may be helpful to consult your pediatrician for further advice or treatments.
