I am not a doctor, but some ways to help with cradle cap that I know of are, gentle brushing away the loosened soft crusts with a soft brush. Over washing will make the condition worse and picking at the crusts can lead to bleeding and infection. You might like to massage the scalp with calendula ointment (available at most chemists). Cradle cap can last for up to three years so if it doesn't look to be getting better, see a GP. Hope these remedies help.

The old tried and true remedy is olive oil - if that's too stinky or thick - use Almond oil. Just half a teaspoon, rub it in at night, you can wash it out in the morning. Don't pick at it, it will just slowly work it's way off.
Daily massaging will keep it at bay.
