Cradle cap is common, mostly harmless, and should go away eventually. Don't wrry
Hydrating the scalp is good for loosening flakes, and some people feel it nourishes the scalp underneath. You’ll need a pure plant oil, such as olive, coconut, jojoba, or almond oil. Baby oil also works. Whichever you choose, try a small amount on your baby’s scalp first to see if it causes any irritation.
To use this method:
Apply a thin layer of oil to the scalp.
Gently massage the oil in for about a minute. If your baby still has a soft spot on their head, use extra caution around this area.
Leave oil to soak in for about 15 minutes.
Wash the oil out with a gentle baby shampoo
