Hello Doctor,
Can I use Virgin coconut oil for babies hair from new born and for babies body massage.
Or should use only normal coconut oil like parachute. Someone said using virgin coconut oil makes babies hair fall.

As such it doesn't make a difference which type it is
Important is coconut oil massage.
Massage is for kinesthetic stimulation.
Coconut oil is good for the skin.
