Brief Answer:
You may apply himalaya products

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for asking on this platform

Himalaya products are mainly made up of herbs and are good for the baby's skin.
The himalaya baby lotion contains olive oil,almond oil and emollient which are free of irritant and hydrate the skin well.This keeps the baby skin soft without causing irritation.
I agree with your doctor that one can use any of cream for his/her baby which suits (mustard oil or fragrance containing lotions should be avoided).
It is always better to apply the cream after bath for better hydration of skin.
So you may use himalaya products for your baby without any worry.

I hope this helps.
Please let me know in case you have any more doubts.
regards
