dry skin
My son is 5 and a half weeks old and i just today noticed that his head is dry and kind of peeling in some places. is this normal? is there anything i can do about it? he doesnt seem to mind but it doesnt look comfortable.
Both of my boys got this too. It just takes time to go away but using oil and then brushing it out was the best thing to do. It will eventually go away.
Use the oil first and then I had to shampoo and let it set on there and then shampoo it again. Just make sure all the oil it out because it will make the buildup of the cradle cap worse.
It is probably just cradle cap. When you bath him use baby oil and let it sit for a few minutes and then use a soft tooth brush or dry clothes and rub away the flakes of skin. Be sure and really get the oil out of the hair or it will make it worse.
