I never dealt with this with ds 1. Ds 2 has a lot of dry skin on his scalp but it isn't flaking off if that makes sense. What should you do for cradle cap?
I used coconut oil for two nights and my son's cradle cap is gone! I let the oil soak for five minutes, and then used a brush to encourage the flakes to go. I then washes his hair thoroughly to get the oil out. Good luck!
With DS, I did the same thing as @bookshelves. It helped and eventually just went away. I've just started noticing a few little flakes in DD's hair, but it's definitely not as bad as DS's was for right now at least!
