Why does my baby have a yellow crust on its head?

Postnatal, Your questions

Marie, I was wondering why my two and a half month old baby always has a yellow crust on its head in its hair.

Your baby likely has cradle cap on its scalp. This is due to their body temperature. Yep! They are likely a warm baby that probably wears a bonnet or cap that traps their body heat…Please read my article about the topic for explanations and practical advice.
