Cradle Cap
Looks like: Waxy pink or orange scales on the scalp. They can be mild or can grow so thick it looks like your baby's wearing a cap. Cradle cap generally shows up in the first month or two but can pop up anytime within your baby's first two years.

It's a normal phenomenon. Some babies experience that. As long as there
are no scalp rashes or flaking... No need to worry. The hair will grow
back later... Just relax.

Some babies have this as a result of underlying scalp conditions which must be treated. There is really no reason for the hair loss and it will just grow back on its own. You need to be careful not to use any products that will worsen the hair loss. It is better to see your Paediatrician or Dermatologist first"

For his hair, get coconut oil and rub on his hair daily. To prevent him from biting u, gently tap his check, remove ur breast from his mouth and tell don't bite me again before putting him to breast again. Babies are sensitive, if u do this repeatedly, he will stop. Though atimes, it could be due to teething, they would want to scratch their itching gum with ur nipple.
