My MIL keeps telling me to put oil in my belly button daily for the baby skin and all. Im 6 months and just want to know if its actually safe. Koi karta hai ye?
Humare yahan toh sabhi bade bolte hain ki navel me tel lagane se pet thanda rehta hai. Badam tel bilkul safe hai, halka sa ungli se laga lo raat ko sote waqt.
It's a great natural way to keep the skin supple and avoid dryness around the belly. But if you feel any itching, burning, or weird rash, stop it immediately and consult your gynac.
I used to do this during my pregnancy and it kept my skin so soft. Now my little one is a toddler and I look back at those anxious days and laugh. Go ahead, it's a sweet simple ritual.
I also heard about this from my nani, but I'm so scared to try anything new right now. Is it really safe? Has anyone else actually tried this in their second trimester?
Please ask your doctor before applying anything around the naval area. I had some complications in my pregnancy, so I became extremely cautious about even small home remedies. It's always better to be safe than sorry.
Putting it in the navel is fine externally, it just moisturizes the skin. Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to watch everything I put in or on my body carefully, but simple external oils are generally safe.
In our family, my mother-in-law advised applying coconut or almond oil in the belly button to prevent heat. I still asked my doctor just to be sure, and she said light external application is totally harmless.
