Why do newborn babies tie their hands with red ropes?
It is actually a traditional saying that newborn babies tie their hands and feet with red ropes. It used to be thought that when a baby was born, his hands were bent upward and his feet were bent upward, so he had to wrap his hands and feet like candles with rope or clothes.

In fact, everyone's ideas have changed now, and the previous practice was unscientific. Follow the baby's development law, and he will be fine when he grows up. Tied with rope or tied too tightly will affect the baby's development. It is recommended not to tie it like this.

There is also a saying that newborn babies are quieter. If you don't wear a red rope, you will be naughty and difficult to discipline when you grow up. This is actually a comfort. The development of the baby is related to the education and social environment of adults, and it will not stop doing bad things just because it is tied up.

Now, especially in rural areas, there is a custom of tying hands and feet with red ropes before the full moon. Now young parents have changed their ideas, which are different from those of the older generation. This custom may become less and less in the future.
