I find coconut oil on its own to be dry, so I usually do either a spray bottle mixture of water, coconut oil, castor oil and some aloe juice I put it somewhere warm like in the radiator so they mix well.
Or I use a bottle with a comb on the end with the above oils but no water and work it in with my hands, depends on your baby’s hair and skin type.
I use it daily once a day, I always start off wetting the hair daily with a water and peppermint mix also sat on the radiator to keep warm and then put the oils and rub them in from the scalp to the hair tip

Kokoso Baby range is excellent.

I agree, you’ve got to be careful with coconut oil because it can trap dryness.
I use olive oil, like pure olive oil x

Agree, coconut oil alone too dry so I mix with olive oil and shea butter. I get the hair damp with a bit of water and the child farm leave in conditioner before applying the oil mix. But will give Toyosi’s peppermint and water a go when by little one is a abit older

Make sure if you’re using any oil on hair that you are doing a hydration routine before hand with actual water and then a leave in or moisturising butter otherwise the oil will stop hydration from entering the shaft as oil repels water and water = hydration this is why many people say oils are drying
