A. yes . head wash alternate day The purpose of giving a gentle massage to your baby you can make use of any natural oil like coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil, sesame oil which ever you wish to. the massage should be given in a very gentle manner that relaxes your baby and puts him to a better sleep

A. hello...yes ypu can always gently you can massage be very soft n gentle...Mostly it is preferable to use virgin pure oils for baby's hair which are very soft n for delicate scalp.... Sesame oil, Olive oil, Mustard oil, and Coconut oil are some of the oils that you can use for your baby's delicate scalp...and to take care of cradle cap..
