My son had the same when he was born. His pediatrician told me to use a bit of head and shoulders while bathing him and use a comb to take it off then rinse. You can also use oil in the same way.

your baby has a stubborn case of cradle cap, an oil remedy might help to loosen dry flakes:

Rub a small amount of a pure, natural oil – such as almond or olive oil – on your baby's scalp and leave it on for about 15 minutes.

Gently comb out the flakes with a fine-tooth comb or brush them out with a soft brush.

Wash your baby's scalp with a gentle baby shampoo. The last thing you want to do is leave oil on your baby's head, which could clog the pores and cause the flakes to stick. Try leaving the shampoo on for a few minutes before rinsing, to help cut the oil.

No problem. I do it during bath time. Softens it up

@beebaby thank you!!

Use a soft comb or wash cloth to remove it
