Dry skin on forehead/hairline - 6wk old

[Elliott]

Just wondered what people would suggest trying to make the dry skin better?? What have people tried and liked?

Thanks x

Midwife and health visitor recommended coconut oil. I've used it on daughters tummy, wrists and ankles where dry patches and come up lovely . Just test on small patch first x

I've been using coconut oil on my Lo's skin and cradle cap and it does a lovely job. But I agree with Lucy test on a small patch 24h before you use it properly

Olive oil or diprobase. My LO had dry skin for ages as he was born at 42 weeks and diprobase worked a treat.

I like oilatum, that's worked wonders on my daughter

Just brush their hair! Obviously not possible if they don't have any but brushing it with a baby brush gently removes the cradle cap. I never knew about it until another mummy recommended it but it worked so well.

Brushing the hair and I used cussons baby shampoo which has olive lol in it...Caleb's cradle cap went pretty quickly with both of those.
