Newborn has flaky skin
My newborn is 16 days old and has flaky skin. Is it okay to apply Johnson baby oil instead of baby lotion after bath? Since it is so hot I am not giving him coconut oil massage.

Only water bath is preferred.
Avoid soap, lotion and powder.
Cetaphil or Lubriderm lotion, if you want to use.
