Baby shampoo/body wash?

I have a 4 month old. His skin is starting to get dry patches and his head always seems to smell dirty even when he's just had a bath. We have only bathed him in water and breast milk but have recently stopped the breast milk as he has suspected CMPA and he keeps trying to drink the water 😂
Can we use shampoo or body wash or moisturiser on him? I thought we were meant to leave it as long as we could to protect the skin barrier but I'm not sure now. His dad has severe eczema so we are conscious he may be sensitive too.

Dove unscented baby body wash, and Mustela foaming newborn shampoo. My baby is 10 months and we’re still using the newborn shampoo and it cleans really well.
