TRADITIONAL BELIEFS ABOUT PEOPLE OF ALL AGES

Traditional beliefs are part of a person's life. Today, there were numerous of beliefs that people believed. Some of them are:

CONCEPTION AND THE BIRTH OF A CHILD
* It is said that if the abdomen of the pregnant is round, then the baby inside is a girl; but if it is pointed, the baby is a boy.
* Whatever the pregnant mother wants, it must be provided.
* A pregnant woman who eats twin bananas will give birth to twins. In order to prevent this, she must split the banana on her back.
* After the baby is delivered, the umbilical cord must be rubbed on the newborn's cheek to produce dimples.

INFANTS
* When the baby always hold his feet, it just means that he wants to have a younger brother or sister.
* If the baby's eyelashes will be cut during her first month, as she grows, her eyelashes will grow long and beautiful.
* When a baby is baptized, he should be carried by a person with plenty of coins in his hand or pocket. This brings good luck to the baby.

CHILDREN
* A child that cries during his baptism is a sign of prosperity. The harder the child cries, the richer he will be.
* When a child is ready to walk, put him on the stairs. Have him step on a plate or anywhere else so long as his feet do not touch the ground first. This is to ensure that he will always find his way home from wherever he may roam.
* If a child's milk tooth falls out, throw it up onto the roof of the house so that the rats will find it. When the new tooth grows in, it will be as strong and as powerful as a rat's tooth.
* Stepping over a child while he is asleep will slow down his growth.
