My saas keeps telling me to put oil in my navel daily, says its good for the baby and skin. Im 5 months and not sure if its just an old custom ya actually fine to do in pregnancy. Anyone follow this?
Haan ji, many women do put oil in their belly button during pregnancy, especially for dryness or as part of traditional practices. It's generally considered safe and doesn't affect the baby inside. Just make sure the oil is pure and you don't have any skin irritation. It can help keep the area soft.
Oh, I totally get why you'd ask, I was so anxious about every little thing during my pregnancy. But putting oil in your belly button is absolutely fine, it's just topical and won't affect the baby. It's more of a skincare thing. So don't worry about it!
While it's a popular practice, especially for skin hydration, it's always best to just quickly confirm with your gynac, especially if you have sensitive skin or any allergies. They can advise if it's okay for *you* and your specific situation. Safety first, always.
Haha, unless you're planning on using your belly button as a lamp, I don't see why not! Kidding aside, putting oil there is usually for skin hydration or traditional beliefs, not really medically impactful. So yes, go ahead if it feels good, it won't harm the baby.
Haan haan, bilkul daal sakte ho! Ghar pe sab bolte hain ki nabhi mein tel daalne se skin soft rehti hai aur pet pe bhi stretch marks kam aate hain. Koi problem nahi hoti baby ko. Meri mummy toh kehti thi zaroor lagao!
