Zorian's Full Mth 滿月

Weight: 5.2kg
Length: 57cm

Time flies... Zorian finally turned 1 mth old after a gruelling confinement period for me. It was a tough 1 mth for me as I struggled through keeping myself sane + tackling all the 'old wife's tales' of all the "Do's and Don't's" during confinement.

Summary of all the "Do's and Don'ts"

1. Cannot shampoo your hair.
2. Cannot drink plain water. Must drink water cooked with red dates.
3. Cannot on the fan.
4. Must wear long sleeves top and long pants to cover all exposed areas so as to prevent wind from 'sipping' through the skin. Logic here is to prevent rheumatism.
   
5. Must eat lots of ginger and wine/dom.
6. Cannot eat bread because of presence of yeast.
7. Cannot walk barefooted. Must wear slippers or socks.
8. Eat "Mee Sua" every morning.
   
9. Must shower with herbs in warm water.
   

Wanted to shave off Zorian's hair but it was difficult as his head is so small and soft. In the end, only snipped off a few strands of hair for formality? I wonder what's the logic behind this practice? Hmmm....
