A. Hello,It seems cradle cap..it is completely harmless, not contagious, and usually disappear by 1 year of age. Rub a small amount of a pure, natural oil – such as almond or olive oil – on your baby's scalp and leave it on for about 15 minutes. Gently comb out the flakes with a fine-tooth comb or brush them out with a soft brush

A. hi dear “Coconut oil can be used for ingestion, but in moderate amounts. Secondly, one should only use organic coconut oil for cooking, without any preservatives in it. For children above one year of age, not more than two spoons of coconut oil a day is advisable since it contains medium-chain fatty acids. I suggest you to choose a good brand for your little one like Babyhug this brand is most trusted by mom's
