(Fatwa: 645/505/H=1434)
It is mustahab to apply saffron on the seventh day of the birth after shaving the head, whether it is a boy or a girl, the head should be shaved on the seventh day of birth and the saffron should be applied over it. If you apply any other aromatic oil then it is also correct.
Allah knows Best!
