EBF is d best and will always be d best for babies. You wonder why its also written on milk packs/ tins. Anyway we should generally be careful with the advice we give and also accept. "Peace out"

@myTestimony nice packaging product might be good. Try and see after all my babies react to johnson lotion.

Been a while I've been here!

How old is your baby? It's most likely cradle cap, and it's no cause for alarm. Ori won't work for it. What you will do is get olive oil, rub generously on thr affected area, leave for about 20mins, then get a fine-toothed comb (tail comb), and gently use it to scrape off the dandruff looking stuff...the oil would have softened it, so it will come off easily. After you are done, endeavour to shampoo the hair...don't leave the oil on it.

That's what worked for my son, and is still working for my newborn daughter.

You should be able to, but ONLY if you can avoid it getting into his eyes. Hair fruit shampoo is pretty mild.

Otherwise, you can get a tear-free baby shampoo.

I don't mean to put fear in you but a child who's well fed and is still loosing weight isn't a good sign. Let a Paed examine her to rule any health issues, b4 coming here to ask for food suggestion. Pls I beg U.
