When an infant appears in a family, young parents 'clutch their heads', rushing about in the desire to do everything so that the baby grows healthy and happy, ate and slept well. In addition to the advice of pediatricians about babies, signs for newborns, collected by many generations of grandmothers and great-grandmothers, will be useful.
Often, thanks to their experience, it is possible to ease the difficult period in the lives of mothers and fathers after the birth of a baby.
Signs about babies
Depending on when and how children are born, their fate can be predicted. Signs about newborns based on the characteristics of birth:
- New moon, the first days of the month – a harbinger of a long life.
- A bright full moon is a sign of health, joy, a “sea of pleasure” in life.
- Being born in a shirt (along with the placenta) promises special 'punching' abilities and good luck in everything.
- The baby is born at 9 am or 3 pm – a talented person is born, but prone to frivolity and waste.
- A child born with feet forward will have the powers of a healer. He will be able to relieve back and spine pain by touching his feet.
- A baby who is the seventh born in the family can become a good doctor, able to relieve the condition of patients with his touch.
Every child can be happy. If the signs do not promise a special fate, the future life of the newborn depends on himself and his parents.
Signs of wealth and success:
- The newborn should be placed on natural fur (immediately after birth or in the first minutes after getting home).
- After birth, the baby is carried up the stairs – it will be successful.
- The newborn should be allowed to hold a gold or silver spoon in its mouth.
- In the water for the first bathing of a newborn, you need to put a silver thing (except for the cross), elecampane root and a little honey.
- Of strangers, a kind and prosperous person should kiss a child for the first time.
- Until one year old, you can not cut the hair of children, so as not to cut off well-being and intelligence.
- Do not throw dirty children's things on the floor, otherwise the child will face need and poverty.
- It is forbidden to give the dog to drink the water in which the newborn was bathed, otherwise his life will be difficult.
These signs should be given due attention – they did not appear by chance, as a result of the observations of the people in many generations.
If you want the child to be healthy, consider the signs that cannot be done from the first days after his birth:
- Look at the sleeping baby. Otherwise, he will be frightened, sleep poorly and cry a lot.
- Let the baby look at himself in the mirror for up to a year.
- Hang a canopy over a child's lullaby. He can interfere with the Guardian Angel. According to another sign, the canopy, on the contrary, is needed to protect against evil spirits.
- Take something out of the newborn's house after sunset.
- Tell someone about the date, time, place where the birth will take place.
- Show the baby to strangers during the first 6 weeks after birth (or before baptism).
- Swim, wash, wash your hands with water in which the baby was bathed.
- On critical days, females enter the house where the newborn is. If this sign is not followed, the child will be susceptible to incurable skin diseases.
- Bathing or breastfeeding your baby in the presence of strangers.
- Eating bread for the baby.
