What Is Cradle Cap?
Welcoming a baby into the world is both a wonderful and confusing time. Along with all the joy and love parenthood brings, there are many concerns parents will face once their little one makes his appearance. The newborn can develop a number of deficiencies and conditions—from eczema to jaundice—and we may not know what they are or how to deal with them.
One of those “What’s this here?” conditions is cradle cap.
Strangely enough, cradle cap doesn’t just appear on the head. This is the predominant location, yes, but it can also flare up on baby’s forehead, eyebrows, ears, diaper area, and other parts of his body.

Cradle cap is the common name for seborrheic dermatitis. It is red (or yellow), irritated, oily skin that may form discolored, scaly, crusty patches.
Still not 100% clear? In the simplest sense, it’s basically infant dandruff. However, dandruff shampoo isn’t the solution to the problem.
