Our 6 week old has very flaky eyebrows - almost crusty. we've been basting with olive oil - any other tips?

DD had the same flaky eyebrows - and as I hadn't read about cradle cap, I thought she had some dreadful lurgy! I did the same - a little bit of olive oil. Then gently rubbed the crusty bits off when she was asleep after a feed.

Thanks Smittals. Was tempted to rub them off but was worried it might make them red or something. I'll give it a go tonight.
