Cradle cap usually appears in the first month of an infant's life. Make a decoction of calendula and comfrey root. Rinse the baby's head with the warm solution each night, allowing it to air dry on the scalp. It may take a few days for this to clear up the problem. You can also massage olive oil into the scalp each night, washing it away thoroughly with a mild soap and water each morning. Leaving the oil on the scalp continually can actually increase the problem.
