"Oku Rice." According to her, people believe it happens when a pregnant woman eats too much rice during pregnancy. She also mentioned that she had been advised to bath the baby with rice water as a remedy.

I think this is just a myth as I don't see a way where eating too much rice during pregnancy will cause this. There are still some women who didn't eat rice, yet their babies had it.

Bathing the baby with rice water may not be the solution. She'd better seek medical help.
