In India, massage is usually left up to the bais, who could be unhygienic. Further, the child may be allergic to certain massage oils or other items like besan, malai etc. Myth Wrapping up the baby tight helps straighten out the limbs. Fact The fact is, your child's limbs will develop faster if they are loose and free to move around. Myth Milk is a complete food for the child till she turns one. Fact Milk, though excellent and imperative for your child's growth, lacks certain essential minerals like iron and Vitamin C. So though you can breastfeed her for as long as you like, it is not a COMPLETE food and should be supplemented with solids earlier on. You too must have come accross certain myths and facts in your day to day life. Share them with us!
