"Old beliefs" Attention: The beginning of this blog might sounds disgusting and if you are too sensitive, then you can just skip this blog and I would understand if you cannot read the whole article. I just write this blog for educational purposes only. Thank you! __________________________________________ Living in a new generation some old beliefs from our grandparents parents are not being introduced to us and not all beliefs are actually true and a beliefs of everyone. I grow up without a grandparents and I didn't grow up believing with some old beliefs that sometimes sounds unbelievable, but there are some beliefs that my mom had shared to me specially when it comes to a new born baby. But my mother-in-law's belief about the baby's placenta is not familiar to me, so I found it disgusting. Old beliefs for our new born baby **1.1 Baby's placenta to consume to avoid postpartum** When I was still pregnant my mother-in-law once told me that when she give birth to her first child her mom used her baby's placenta to help her regain her strength faster. She says she actually don't know about what her mom did, she just learned about it when she fully recovered. She say's her mom secretly mixed her baby's placenta to her food before serving it to her and let her consume it until it finished to help her not to experience Postpartum. When I heard about it, I was really disgusted 🤭. I can't imagine it as I can't manage to eat my baby's placenta 😅. But my mother-in-law say's that it's really effective, infact some celebrity also did the same and some beautician used it to reduce their wrinkles. And if you're wondering how placenta look like, you can just search it in Google as I really can't stand to post it here as I really found it disgusting 😅. But I make a research of how to describe it so we can just imagine it🤭. The placenta can be described as “cake-like,” and is also spongy. It's big, bloody, veiny, and lumpy, with one red side (the side that was attached to your uterus) and one gray or silver side (the side that faced baby for all those months). - Source: www.thebump.com Anyway when I give birth to my son, I didn't see his placenta and the doctor also didn't show it to me so I'm sure that my mother-in-law didn't used secretly🤣😂. **2.2 Baby's navel cord/umbilical in my wallet** When my baby came out, he still have small umbilical cord on his navel, as the doctor didn't cut it all, they just put a clip on it and let it dry. As a mom it's your responsibility to keep it clean and dry to avoid infections. Every day you need to clean it with alcohol and you can use a baby belly binder to cover it.
When my son's umbilical cord got dried and fall's from my son's navel my mother-in-law told me to keep it and put it in my wallet as she believes that it will bring some luck to me 😅. I don't know if it's true, but even if it's smells weird I still keep it😂. ****3.3 Baby's first hair and nails cut under the book****
My mom told me,that once my son had his first hair and nails cut I shouldn't throw them away, as my mom says that I must put it in any pages of the book so he will love to read a book. I know it's sounds funny and I also don't know how would it work, but I still did, besides there's nothing wrong if I would believe it😅. Anyway do you also have some beliefs? I just learned about those beliefs when I give birth to my son, as I have said, my parents didn't rise us with some beliefs. It only happens that my mom share to me about baby's first hair and nails cut is because I mentioned her about the umbilical cord that my mother-in-law told me. I wonder if you also have some beliefs and I'll be glad to read it in my comment section.

Ahhh, I just saw some glimpse of your article and now my heart is feeling like someone is wrenching. It means I am too sensitive. My grand father and mother also has a firm on old belief.
😅 sorry for that mate😅
I didn't now about in the part of placenta. I find it disgusting as well but if it's effective why not. Filipinos has tons of superstitious beliefs and sometimes they are far from truth. I can't give birth because I'm a man so i don't know the feeling. Lol.
Truth, we have so many different superstitious belief's..😅
Si mama talaga ang may mga ganitong belief ate Grace.
Mostly mga magulang talaga natin bunso
In animals like cows I saw a cow who gave birth to its child and I saw that it's chewing something elastic and spongy thing, now I realize that it was placenta. I can't believe that there's a belief that a mother should eat the placenta of the baby, its so disgusting at all and how on earth does this belief exist. There's nothing we can do to those belief that our ancestors made since some of them can't bring no harm to us if we follow those belief.❤
It's really disgusting 😂
There are still some people among us who hold the old belief in their bosom. My mother and grandmother mean a lot to these old beliefs. Which seems very annoying to me.
Hahahahha i can understand you mate as sometimes I also don't understand those beliefs.
When I gave birth to my 1st born my parents just buried the placenta. When I gave birth to my little boy they just throw it away. Anyway Yung sa umbilical cord Sabi Nila pg mg kapatid isabit daw na mgkatabi Para daw magkasundo ang mg kapatid. Yung sa 1st cut ng hair naman eh nilagay ko din sa book. 13 years Yung gap ni daughter at baby boy pero same book pa rin ang nilagyan ko sa kanilang mga 1st cut hair.
Ahh ganun ba un sis? Pag may kapatid na tong baby ko ipagdidikit ko para di sila mag aaway😅
I also witnessed the third beliefs ate when my cousin give birth to her eldest son. But sa kanila po, yung unang taong maggugupit daw po sa hair nung bata is dapat yung taong gusto mong maging role model nila. Basically mostly , yung smart one po yung pinagputol nila nung hair para daw po makuha talino haha. And after that, they put the hair sa altar para naman daw po mabait hanggang paglaki hahaha.
Naku, ako lang ung naggupit sa buhok ng baby ko, hindi pa naman ako matalino 😂😂dapat pala papa nya pinaggupit ko😂
I believe in #3 as my mother use to do it heheheh
Mga nanay talaga natin may mga pakana sa mga pamahiing to sis😂
Putting the navel in a wallet is really weird. I don't think it brings good luck, but it's all superstitious beliefs... Lol.
Hahahahaha it really looks funny but my mother-in-law believe for it's luck😅
Very funny...haha
It is an old supersticios old belief, pero as of now in new generation kaunti nlang ang mga naniniwala and yes Im one of those who witnessed that belief pero proven and and tested ko yan hahah Im one of those na may buhok sa libro peru di namn ako mahilig mag basa hahah
Same, nanay ko din ganun ginawa sa mga buhok naming magkakapatid pero wala namang naadik sa libro samin😅, lahat kami tamad magbasa😂
Hahahah yan yung totoong scam talaga hahah, kasi kahit pa lahat ng buhok tapos sa lahat din ng libro nakoo pag di talaga mahilig sa pagbabasa ang tao wala talaga hahah
There are many superstitious believes by our grandparents which aren't true,not all superstitious are true.
Exactly mate 😅
These superstitions works far away from our reality. Though my country has unending superstitions but I have never heard about these. It seems so disgusting, I think some superstitions are meant to be avoided and these superstitions are one of them.
The placenta i think should be avoided as I don't think it's clean😅
The first and second one are really weird but the second one is still acceptable 😅
Oo nga nakaka disgusting hehe pero that's only hearsays from different people. It is a supertiscious believe that everyone is thinking about is it really makes us convenient.
Truth, just a beliefs.
Dear Garreth, I was very interested in the beliefs you mentioned. When my cousin's daughter was born, he buried her daughter's umbilical cord in the most famous university in our city, so that in the future, maybe her daughter will have this chance, and study at that university.
Oh, maybe my son would learn how to save as i put his umbilical cord in my wallet 😂
Yeah exactly... 😂😂😂
Hahaa the second one my mom also have my umbilical cord but she just put it in our vase hahaha. Now that I'm an elder I said to her that throw it. But she doesn't hahaha
Baka pampaswerte nya yun sis😅
Baka nga po ayaw nya ipagalaw samin hahaha
These are weird. Never heard them before.
Exactly, as they are an old beliefs
Sounds interesting my friend. It's my first time hearing about them. It may sound disgustinh to some, but it holds a big part to the mothers.
Exactly and thank you for reading 😊
These were really some funny beliefs and I can't help but laugh and also imagine you weren't writing this article with a straight face 😂 I can't wait to give birth also and hear what beliefs I would encounter , so you put the hair in a ***MATHEMATICS*** textbook ..... 😹
Hahahaha i put his hair inside my biology book😂😂😂
Wow , biology with quartic functions Interesting
Oh yeah it was math😂😂🤣 I thought it was biology 😂😂😂
My ribs 😆 🤣
Yung sa placenta lang ang hindi ko alam sis , kasi ang alam ko inililibing yan siya pag katapos pero narinig kay Colleen Garcia na yun nga daw parang Hina halu sa inumin ang placenta baka nga totoo sis para maiwasan ang post partum depression.
These are really old beliefs. There are one or two here in my parts of the world regarding a baby's placenta and it's quite unpleasant too... By the way,are you a maths teacher?. Can see some quadratic functions in the book 😊
Ang weird ng baby placenta sis na never ko narinig sa iba yan ksi yung baby hair at nail cuts lng alam ko which is ginawa ko din.
😂😂😂 honestly my family do that they do put their babies first hair cut in the book . Normally I usually think that is an act of craziness but I definitely understand now it their old believe happy new month mam
Narinig ko na din mga paniniwalang ganito Sis, nung pinanganak ako ni Mama ang dami nilang pamahiin, while kanina nung nag visit ako sa bestfriend ko nabanggit niya na walang ano-anong pamahiin na ginawa sa baby niya, di kasi daw sya naniniwala:D
