Abeg tell us

Very adorable.

As an infant they don't have the sense that they need to turn their whole body around just to look back plus the stress involved since they can't stand or walk often (1.e mostly crawling)...so this way is most easier for them . There might be other reason sha

scoundrel:
It means nothing. The baby is only playing. As toddlers they have amazing flexibility so they enjoy the priviledge of bending down to look between their legs.

Gbam.

Na play dem dey

you get sense

Some said it means the baby is old enough to senior another child similar to the then believe that your left hand must touch your right ear before one is old enough to go to school.

Its true

sicily4u:
So what if they are new couple that just got married, who child will bend for them ? Rubbish

OMG you guys wont kill person with laugh here!!!

On another note, I do not think there is much to a child doing that stunt- it's just part of discovery and playfulness. However some that commented earlier related a true life experience, so may be it can be real in some cases, and it may be just pure coincidence. Point in hand, those parents that only have 1 child, does that mean the 1st baby never bended over or never did the stunt? Kia I don teach am how to bend!!

Fun++

presh2mos:


Studies and researches have been proven that children tend to exhibit 60% of grandparents traits and 40% of parents. So it's mere superstition

A baby has four grandparents actually.
So, the four of them would contribute 15% each?

tk4rd:
Apparently there is a superstition that a baby looking through their legs (kinda up on all fours with their head down) means that someone usually their mother - is pregnant.

Has anyone heard this?
Is it confirmed to be true?
Are there any studies or researches about this?

I’m not superstitious, but sometimes it's fun watching babies doing that.

well, in my own side, the elders didn't allow us look through such position usually in the market because we could see ghosts that had come to the market and it would result to death

Lol, hearing this for the first time

tk4rd:
Is it real?
Or is that some widely believed superstition??

Yes

Seems you are scared you may be pregnant.

From one of us @[color=#006600][/color] : Sisi Yewande:
My daughter has been doing this a lot for the past month, and my MIL says when the youngest child/baby is looking between their legs, it means they want or looking for a sibling, also meaning your pregnant or going to be pregnant soon.

Here you have it!

Audio child.. Keep lying

The one I heard was that the child is communicating with those he/she left behind before being born

Another big superstition here..

(1) It is actually natural that babies looks through their legs when they succeeded walking.
(2) Note: At that age they are more spiritual than adult but the different is they can't tell what they saw/see or doing. It is in that same spiritual awareness that they notice another baby in their mother's womb (new pregnancy), but that's not the reason they look through their legs rather it makes them become jealous.
(3) At the age of 1 of year children begins to develop consciousness to a certain limit ( philosophy of life ) so it comes over them at first to submit to the earth, there is no human on planet earth that have not done that during infant stage because they will surely return to earth no matter how long he lives on the surface of earth.
(4) By bowing to the earth, he/she has possess a place on earth that is another mystery, but adults will see it as children's play and you can't stop it.
That's the little I can share for now. if you what to know deeply contact me.

fairfora:
NL must make you laugh shaa. If you wan laff by force, just come to NL to read comments

I tell you!!!
I have been laughing on folks' comments here.
On another thought I think the crossing
is not literal, more like actually mating with the woman. If any one remembered Efunsetan Aniwura movie, those time doesnt allow portrayer of sexual intercourse on TV so Dr Isho Pepper's act was inferred as "crossing" the other female slave.
I believe the origin of this crossing is from we the Yorubas, so as to preserve the sanctity of matrimony and pregnancy.

Call it superstition or myth but they is an iota of truth in ds action being exhibited by babies.

I n my wife were arguing abt ds months back.My wife tapped me n said, "ds one our son is looking bent down through his legs, is like she is pregnant, I doubted it n told her dt is superstition. Occasionally our son will bend down n look thru his legs n my wife, will tell me that she is pregnant.

After 3months the pregnancy manifested.

What a way to confirm pregnancy!
