* Since this is a newborn baby, I think you should go to your
doctor. * Olive oil, apricot kernel oil and grapeseed oil are mild
and effective baby oils that are not mineral (petroleum) and are
non toxic. They can be found at your grocery store. Apricot kernel
has only a mild, sweet fragrance. If the dry skin continues, talk
to your doctor. Check the ingredients in the baby's soap too, if it
continues.
