Dry scalp?

After his bath yesterday I noticed DS' scalp is dry and a lttle peely. It's not cradle cap like DD had. What can I do for it? I thought of putting lotion, but don't want to make his hair all greasy. I use aquaphor baby wash for him and aveeno lotion.

Could it be a slight case of cradle cap?  They always say it drives us more crazy than the baby.  If it isn't bothering him, maybe you could just leave it be.  My LO has the same issue.  It drives me nuts.  We just wash it and brush out some of the flakes.  I'm trying to just leave it be because I know it will go away on its own.  I think you could still do something natural like olive oil though.  Shouldn't hurt anything.

When Aria had a dry scalp, we used baby oil.  Also, brushing her hair/scalp actually helped a lot.  It went away in a few days of brushing twice a day.

I am brushing a little bit of olive oil on DS's scalp it works perfectly! Do it before the bath and then wash as normal. It has really helped.
