What to do for kids with dandruff/cradle cap?

I've been noticing my DS had patchy dry skin on his scalp. What natural ways can I get rid of it. Any special natural kid anti dandruff shampoos?

    We rubbed olive oil on DD's scalp, used a comb to loosen up the dry skin, put a hat on her head for a few hours, and washed away all the oil and flakes with the original CA Baby Wash...worked perfectly.

    Breastmilk! It's the wonderfood. Feeds you baby and cleans his head too!

    Maybe I can try that in seven months but right now I'm all out. :)

    Coconut oil rocks! With my DS, it helped to space baths out a bit. Every 2-3 days now and that helps.

    Olive oil works like a charm! I massaged it into DS' head and had him wear a cap for a few hours. Then I took an old toothbrush and gently scrubbed away the cradle cap. I was really amazed at how well it worked.

    We've done coconut oil too.  Or, in a pinch, I've rubbed earth mama angel baby nipple cream on his head, lol.
