Is this newborn eczema? Any of your babies have it?

Question

First photo is a few days ago and second is today. I've been applying coconut oil and the yellow flakes from the first photo came off really easily.
My sister has eczema and I had a bit of eczema during pregnancy.

Answer

My son has the same thing around his eye brows. His pediatrician said it’s cradle cap. Will go away on its own.

Answer

I'm dealing with the same thing except she has it really bad on her ears. Aquaphor seems to be helping.

Answer

My daughter also has this! my pediatrician said to put on hydrocortisone 1% and it has helped so much! put on 1 or 2 times a day!

Answer

Coconut oil!! Leave it on then use a comb in the bath. My daughter had it and coconut oil was the oil thing that worked.

Answer

Looks like cradle cap on his eyebrows. Babies can get cradle cap on their head and face as well.

Answer

My MIL is a midwife and she said to put a bit if breast milk in the affected areas if you can. I tried this myself and it did get a little better.
