Our Verdict
The Moby is your daily-use bath essential. The DermaFrida is a targeted fix for a specific problem. Every baby needs a tub, but not every baby gets cradle cap. If your newborn does develop those crusty flakes (and there's a good chance they will), the DermaFrida system works way better than the DIY olive oil method. Buy the tub before baby arrives. Wait on the DermaFrida until you see if you need it.
