Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy2 years ago

A. your child is having cradle cap or seborrheic dermatitis (baby dandruff) you have to daily apply baby shampoo on the scalp of the child during the bathing. do not apply any type of oil on the 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 . for tooth development and eruption the first important thing is that the child should not have deficiency of calcium and vitamin d. deficiency is there or not will be told by the droctor. there is no need to worry because many times the first tooth eruption may occur as late as 16 to 18 months of age also so if your personal doctor irs not worried then no need to worry from your side
