Any advice on this? We've been using dentinox each night and his baby hairbrush to try and loosen them but it seems it's getting s worse. He's 3 months so perhaps it progresses but he's had it developing since about 6 wks old.
Any extra tips to help?

We got great advice from our pediatrician which cured it in about a month.

Put olive oil on the head. Leave 20 minutes. Scrape off with a cradle cap comb. Wash head.

We did it about once every 4 days (basically whenever it started coming back) then one day it just didn't come back.

Coconut Oil - leave in for half an hour - and brush off with a soft toothbrush. Worked the first time for us.
