Hi Kame, Is her skin too dry that coconut oil does not work? Do you apply before after bath? You can try olive oil or other baby oils. I know many friends using Johnson's baby oil ( this is available in india also). If it does not help, some moisturizer does not hurt. So far, I used Burt Bees oil for moisturizing if needed and coconut/olive/jojoba usually before bathing. I have Johnson's baby oil that I plan to use once this is finished. If you want to go natural, I do not know how much you like Ghee and its smell. But I rembr in our villages people used on babys heads. And also for spot moisturizing or rashes old school vaseline that I always keep in diaper bag.
You can use creams that are without fragrances etc usually found from drugstores. Oils (coconut oil, baby oils) are also fine.
hi, tks for ur post... i apply coconut oil before bath.. her skin is not too dry... today i applied j & j baby oil for 15 minutes and washed her with warm water cloth.. dryness seems to be ok... lets see. we dont use ghee on baby's skin..
i applied home made ghee & home made butter to my baby who having serious problem of dry skin a lot from 3 month onwards. it gave soothing to baby skin.
hi ramya,am using j&j oil.. it works well on my baby's skin.. am also applying egg white part for my baby's skin during head bath may be weekly twice.. reg / ka
