"Cradle face" is not a widely recognized medical term, but it may be a misinterpretation of "cradle cap," which is a common condition in infants. Cradle cap, or infantile seborrheic dermatitis, is characterized by scaly, greasy patches on a baby's scalp and face, and it is caused by overactive sebaceous glands producing excess oil. The exact cause is not well understood, but it is thought to be related to maternal hormones still circulating in the baby's system.
