Is this normal?
My baby is four weeks old, and his forehead is extremely dry, cracking and flaky. I read that it’s common and to put aquifer on it but it’s been getting worse throughout today and has me worried. It says it could be cradle cap or him shedding his first layer of skin due to going from being in water in the womb to being exposed to the air. Has anyone else been going through something similar that can help ease my mind? I sent some pictures to his pediatrician, but it will be a couple days before I hear anything. Should I be worried?

My baby didn’t experience this, but a creator I follow on TikTok baby had something similar she used aquaphor and tubby Todd seemed to have worked well for her baby.
Are you breastfeeding? I also seen a mom mix breast milk with aquaphor.
Hope this information helps.
FYI baby is adorable 🥰
