Hello, Sudden dandruff in a 2.5-year-old child could be due to a condition like cradle cap or seborrheic dermatitis, which is common and usually not a cause for concern. It may result from the overproduction of oil and a type of yeast on the scalp.
Next Steps
I recommend using a mild, baby-safe shampoo and ensuring the scalp is kept clean and moisturized. If it persists or worsens, consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management is advisable. I am happy to assist further through an online consultation.

Cradle cap is a common scaly condition seen in young children due to growth of a type of yeast in the oils produced by the skin. However a picture and further examination would be necessary to ascertain that is what we are looking at here
