Brief Answer:
Aveeno

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Do you notice a rash? How long this problem is with the baby?
If you can afford I suggest you to use AVEENO moisturizer for your kid, very tiny quantity like a drop and apply all over the body. If you cannot afford traditional coconut oil is better.
The pigmentation would go off sooner.

Hope this answers your question.
