Hi, I'm sending this to everyone because I know alot of newborns get this. I worked for a pediatrician and this is what he always told us to do. The best thing to do is when he takes a bath to wash his head with a wash cloth and baby shampoo and DON'T put anything on it, not lotion, baby oil anything. After the bath take a fine tooth comb and comb the loose stuff out of his hair. Don't scrub his head, just rub it with a wash cloth and shampoo to clean off the craddle cap and try to clean off the dried stuff. Do not pick at it and again don't put anything on it this will only make it worse. It is not really dry skin that needs lotion, it is more like sweat and old skin cells that they get on their head. So washing his head real good with a wash cloth and baby shampoo will work the best. Hope this helps.
