Dr Weyinmi Orighoye · Answer

@Odukoya25947, I just saw you asking the essence of silver bird. It is actually Eucalyptus oil and it's a very good oil especially for the respiratory system. For babies, it can be used as for inhalation during catarrh. It opens the airways. It's also good for hair growth. It aids injury healing despite pepperish feel. You can not do with it

@Weyinmi23253, Thanks doc

Dr Weyinmi Orighoye · Answer

@Odukoya25947, I guess you normally oil your baby's hair. So keep doing so. It doesn't affect the fontanelle. There's no need for a special care.

Odukoya Damilare Ajayi · Answer

@Weyinmi23253, Is good to leave the fontanelle dry or oil should always be applied there, and is it necessary to add silver bird to the oil and of what use is this silver bird?

Dr Weyinmi Orighoye · Answer

@Mordsith16329, How old is your baby? I understand you but if you are going out, please cover her head. You can't tell when she is cold, so it's advisable to wear even if it's a light cap.

Olayemi Mujidat · Answer

Thanks doctor. Please is it true that baby should always wear cap once the fontanelle is still breathing so as to prevent breeze from entering the brain.
