A. coconut oil.See when baby has any new complain then better avoid any self medication. Show to a doctor for right and timely diagnosis and treatment. Thays a safe procedure.You can always try to add health and tasty substitute like whole grain cookies, cakes and. Home made papad etc.patience is very important too.

A. Use Some turmeric powder mix it into water and apply it regularly for at least a day or two so that your child does not get pimples on the scalp after that almond oil and castor oil mixture that you should regularly apply for healthy hair growth
