A. this is cradle cap and this doesn't need any treatment, it can be seen in new born babies commonly. do's: while doing shampoo rub with index finger gently it will take time to get vanish properly (around 6 months of age his head will clean ), and use baby hair brush after oiling hair it will help to remove excess flakes don't: do not try to remove the layer by your own it can leave injury on head and apply hair regularly as you are doing .

A. you have not mentioned the baby's age , as I can see baby is 3 months of old so at this age there is no dandruff on head ,the thing you are seeing is called cradle cap and it is a layer which will go slowly, do not try to remove it by your own you can do shampoo and use baby brush gradually it will get vanish
