Newborn dry skin

My three week old has got super dry skin and it's even cracked and sore between her thumb and finger. The only baseline I have in the house has cocoa butter in. Would that be ok for a newborn?

It’s very normal for them to get dry skin. If you’re breast feeding then you could use some breast milk on it.
I used child’s farm on my little ones dry skin but only very small amounts. I’d look in a pharmacy or shop for children’s moisturiser and see if any are recommended for a newborn.
