Apparently there is some belief among one community that the mother cannot hold the baby before I dont know what has been done. Anyone here from a community that has strong customs about a mother holding their newborn that can maybe enlighten us? Found it comical that a seemingly well-educated woman giving birth in a not-so-shabby hospital in Nairobi insisted on such ceremonies before they could hold their baby. She had to wait for the husband to come from upcountry with I donno what before she could agree to hold the child. lol
All my friends are heathens, take it slow. Wait for them to ask you who you know. Please don't make any sudden moves.
