Empowering mothers worldwide through connection, support, and shared experiences ✨
Opinions are mixed - some moms were warned besan is too coarse for delicate baby skin, while others used it gently after oil and found it fine and even soothing.
⚠️ Caution:Besan can be abrasive on sensitive baby skin - if you use it, apply very gently and stop if you notice any redness or irritation.
Parents weighing traditional ubtan against modern products worry it might be too harsh and scratch their baby's delicate skin. The community gives an honest, balanced view: some find besan too coarse, but used gently and sparingly after oil it can be fine and even leave the baby calm and well-rested.
Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.
It's considered coarse on skin, especially baby skin, so it wasn't recommended to one mom.
Used a couple of times after applying oil it was okay - done gently by the mom herself (rather than a rough malish lady), and the baby slept well after the gentle ubtan.
