Baby's dry scalp

My baby's scalp looks dry, anyone know what I can do to resolve this or is it just part and parcel of DC being relative newborn?

cradle cap probably - I was told to rub breast milk or e45 on it. DS lasted for ages - I bought some cradle cap shampoo and it slowly went!
Yes something to do with being new born.
I used to therapeutically (for me) rub it to get it off - a lot of babies have it.
Ahh congratulations

Try rubbing it with coconut oil or olive oil. Coconut oil is more expensive but smells a lot nicer Wink

Olive or almond oil. Worked a treat on DD. Also put almond oil on her body after a bath.

I used to put just baby oil on about 20 mins before bath time then wash it twice with baby shampoo and use a baby brush to massage it while I was feeding her before bed. Used to work a treat.
