Cradle cap, also known as infantile seborrheic dermatitis, is a common thing that can happen to babies. It's when they get these yellowish, greasy flakes on their head, sometimes even on their eyebrows and eyelids. But don't worry, it's no big deal and definitely not something contagious. Nobody really knows why it happens, but it's probably because their little oil glands go into overdrive and make too much sebum, which is this waxy stuff that hangs out on the skin. Then all those dead skin cells stick together and form those flaky scales. It's not because they're dirty or allergic to something, so don't blame yourself!
Cradle cap usually shows up when the baby is a few weeks old and can stick around for a while. In some cases when the scales become really thick or crusty, it may cause inflammation or possibly hair loss. Just make sure to keep the baby's scalp clean by gently washing it with a mild shampoo. You can also use a soft brush or comb to gently massage their head and get rid of those flakes. But be nice and don't scratch or pick at it because that can make the skin irritated and maybe even infected.
So, to sum it up, cradle cap is a common thing that happens to babies. It's those greasy, flaky scales on their head. You can take care of it by washing their scalp gently and using a soft brush or comb. Most of the time, it goes away on its own, but if it's being stubborn, your doctor can suggest some special stuff to help. Just watch out for any signs of infection and get in touch with your doctor if you're worried.
To help remove the baby cradle cap begin by moisturizing the dry scaly patches with a natural safe baby oil. Follow by brushing the cradle cap to loosen the scales and flakes.

"My son had cradle cap for a few months now. I was using another product to help get rid of it but it wasn’t getting better. I thought I would try this after seeing a demo on Chelsey Wang’s IG. I’m so glad I bought this set! The cradle cap started lifting immediately and it was almost gone after one time." - Mackenzie
