Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child but don't worry.
For cradle cap in 2 month baby, you should apply cetrilac shampoo every alternate day for 1 week.
And you need to apply candid lotion once a day over head for best results.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
