Cradle cap AKA “Baby Dandruff”
After the haze of labor and delivery wore off and my family was back at home getting rest and getting to know one another, my husband and I realized our son had these fair-sized flakes on his scalp. Since at least a couple of days had passed, it couldn’t be from being in utero. He had a couple of sponge baths by this point. It looked like dandruff or a skin issue. It wasn’t alarming but felt pretty natural. Come to find out, it was cradle cap. He didn’t have a bad case, pretty light in comparison to what my Google search came up with. We ended up using a Frida Baby bath mitt when we were bathing him over the following days, and with time, water, and a little gentle rubbing, it all flaked off. His head was totally fine, no blood or obvious discomfort. Just another thing to learn about in the steep learning curve of being a first-time parent. Parenting is a wild ride.
