    Extra Virgin Olive Oil doesn't smell, and it is full of the things babys skin needs. Its not gross or anything.
    I only ever use Extra Virgin, I'm half Italian and I know my oiive oil LOL. I can still smell it. I will admit that I do have a freakishly strong sense of smell though. I don't like an oily baby either but to each their own.

    LOL!

    DS had (and still does) dry skin, and it was very dry at the beginning, he was born 10 days after his EDD.
    I used olice oil in his bath, and QV baby balm afterwards. I tried lots of creams, sorbolene etc, but found a greasier balm worked a lot better for us. I dont know, I think it kind of locks in the moisture, the same with the olive oil.
    It was (olive oil) awesome for cradle cap too.
