Stop oiling the scalp after bathing. If u need to oil, do it 30-60 minutes prior to bathing. Using spoo shampoo also helps. It is a normal occurrence and won't harm the baby in any way.

This is a normal phenomenon,occurring in a quite a few babies and will subside by 1 year of age,and has a waxing and waning course. Spoo shampoo is helpful. Apply twice a week,and stop once problem subsides,then use again.
