Get the Cap out of Cradle Cap

Cradle cap, also known as Seborrheic dermatitis is more of a bothersome to parents rather than the baby itself.  Cradle cap occurs when the skin cells on baby's scalp grows quicker than it sheds.
Common in babies  for the first 3 months this can last as late as 12 months if parents don't know what to do or just can't be bothered.  It does happen and rarely does it go away on its own, in my case it didn't so I took matters into my own hands.
The symptoms of this range in little crusts here and there to develop into large flakes, they also vary in colour from white to yellow.
So how do you get rid of it?
Don't use Baby Oil like that popular brand!  Mineral Oil is a no, no and it can actually clog the hair follicle and make the scalp worse depending on your baby's sensitivity, it can dry the skin out because it just coats it.

Same goes for talc as it clogs the pores and hair follicles; talc is a carcinogenic. Yep.  Baby powder.  Use talc free my fave is from Burt's Bees but now I'm going off topic.
Olive oil is a great choice for removing Cradle cap but Calendula oil is better, not as thick and messy and well I love Weleda.  Simply massage baby's head with Weleda Calendula Oil (let it soak 10-15min) and with a fine comb, comb away gently.  You'll see the flakes lift and you'll be aesthetically pleased now as baby will have a nice "crust" free sweet smelling little baby head thanks to Weleda.
My own experience I used Weleda's Calendula oil as I love the medicinal benefits of the oil.  The results were fast and his skin was soothed and healed with Calendula's magical properties. 
For more serious conditions homeopathy can be used to help, especially if it's stubborn.
