Coconut oil help

[Lily189]

Hi everyone my baby is 17 days old and her skin is abit dry my midwife said I should use coconut oil
How do I use it do I tub it in her skin then wash it off or do you just rub it in and leave it
She also said about adding abit to her bath water all advice be great as I've never used it before Tia

I believe for the skin jut use it like baby oil...rub it in and leave it!
I got child's farm spray for my ones cradle cap. Was pretty good!

However my sisters little one had a but of a reaction to hers so trial a little area first

I just bought some off the supermarket shelf, just rub it on and leave it. Smells lovely! I looked at the Child's Farm one but it has lots of ingredients including perfume so thought it might irritate.

My boy is 7 months now and we still put coconut oil on him at night time. We rub it on leave him a minute then dress him. We do have dedicated nighttime vests as they get a bit ruined with the oil.
