We all know that African mothers can be very dramatic. They also indirectly teach their daughters how to be dramatic and this dramatic character manifests when
they too become Mothers.

These are a few superstitious beliefs Mothers pass on to their daughters that are expectant mothers and/or new mothers.

* Attach safety pin to your cloth around your bump; they say it's to protect the foetus from evil eyes.

* Your baby must not belch on your breast while breastfeeding: this will cause ache in your breast.
To stop the pain, blow air on your palm and hit your breast with the palm. LMAO

*If the child is doing hiccup, Cut thread and put on Baby's head: it will stop the hiccup.

*Don't Cut Baby's hair till he/she is one: lol, I don't know what that means.

*Baby must not fall from a Mother's back: they say it will make a baby boy impotent. I don't know what happens if it's a girl.

These are a few that I know of. Feel free to add yours. Which other superstitious belief do you know?

As interesting and sweet as Motherhood/Fatherhood is, it Can also be very tasking and draining.

FACT; Kids that are constantly been yelled at turn out to be the most stubborn and uncontrollable kids. These kids continue to cause problems.
