A. hi you can use either virgin coconut oil or almond oil or olive , sesame oil too in winters. the thing you are describing is not because of pilots cradle cap which generally goes by itself by six to twelve months of age common in babies. just apply oil over scalp wash off with gentle baby shampoo and brush using soft bristles hair brush to remove flakes. don't forcibly remove flakes. and abkud too much use of oil on scalp. as flakes peel off some hair will go font worry will grow back. it will be fine

A. Newborn hair loss is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. Some babies are born with a full head of hair, while others have only a sparse covering. infants often lose all the hair they're born with during their first six months of life. Sometimes the hair grows right back in, but in a different color or texture. In other babies, it takes a while to growback, this is bcz,  baby Hair follicle has a growth stage and a resting stage. One of the great things about baby oil is that It contains no harsh chemicals so it is gentle on the skin and the hair. In addition to being inexpensive, baby oil is an excellent moisturizer that softens the hair and makes it shine. Baby oil can also help to grow hair longer and faster.

A. You can use any brand coconut or pure almond oil All baby brands are equally good. Himalays, Johnson, chicoo, mamaearth, dabur lal tail, are better option. Bath ur baby every day before bath Once a day massage is suficient for small babies.
