Mustard oil belly button in pregnancy
My wife is 2 months pregnant.
Before pregnancy, she was applying mustard oil in her belly button.
Is it safe to apply mustard oil in belly button during pregnancy?
Hope this is not affecting the baby..
Which oil is good? Cold pressed virgin coconut oil or some other?

I think this question should be put to the doctor who advised her to use mustard oil on her belly button before pregnancy. He may be knowing why he gave this advice.
