Should I use ubtan massage on my infant?

Pediatricians generally do not recommend using traditional ubtan massages on infants, especially those containing dairy, as they can cause severe skin reactions, rashes, and discomfort. This is particularly important for babies with conditions like Cow's Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA), where dairy ingredients can trigger significant physical distress. If you are concerned about baby hair or skin health, it is safer to stick to simple, non-irritating alternatives or consult your doctor before applying any homemade pastes.
