need help for cradle cap and dry skin for infant.

[Guest guest]

coconut oil is a very cooling oil

i would not use it in winter

i have found that applying a paste of mung bean flour

to the head and letting it dry slightly is useful.

Once the flour has dried wash the babies hair.

comb the hair often to lift of excess dry skin

comb the hair slowly and make sure the comb lightly

touches the surface of the scalp to help remove dry

skin.

a light application of sesame oil helps after to

sooth the head.

olive oil is a bit heavy and does not allow the dry

skin to slough of.

after the third month this problem is usually

completely gone.

Babies need to adjust to the dry world outside the

womb and this takes time for some babies.
