My 2-month-old baby seems to have a rash, has patches on the body, and sleeps poorly?

It is common for newborns to have trouble sleeping and develop cradle cap, which can cause red patches on the skin. To help with cradle cap, you can apply baby oil to the scalp after a bath and gently comb out the crusts. If your baby has red patches on their skin, it is best to consult a pharmacist or healthcare provider for proper guidance on treatment. It is important to address any skin issues gradually to avoid irritating the skin further. Remember that your baby's crying is a normal part of their development and should not affect their overall health.
