    I agree. Im a hairdresser and babies do lose that newborn hair anyway, on any part of the head, and will grow back in patches as well. If its dry maybe rub a little olive oil onto it to give it a bit of moisture. Cradle cap has a yellowy tinge to it and thick crusty chunks on the scalp ( best way to describe it) if its just dry it will be like dandruff flaky skin. I would use olive oil, its natural and the skin will drink it up. Then just gently remove any bits that are coming off. Hopefully it will calm down within a few days of trying this.
