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.

Thanks in advance for your answer, Fanny

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.
