A. your child is having cradle cap or seborrheic dermatitis (baby dandruff) you have to daily apply baby shampoo (spoo is good brand) on the scalp of the child during the bathing. do not apply any type of oil on sthe scalp during the daytime but only apply oil at the night time. within one week the cradle cap will disappear. cradle cap is baby dandruff and is a type of fungal infection .

A. Hello mom It’s too early to apply anything on your babies scalp, so you should definitely just start doing massage with coconut oil. It will help in keeping your babies scalp, healthy and clean and continue using babies. Regular baby shampoo rather than this. Don’t apply anything else on your babies scalp.
