Until a few generations ago, pregnant women gave birth at home. The adults in the house took
care of all the care like bathing and feeding the newborn babies. Some employed and maintained
nannies (babysitters) for this purpose. A developing newborn baby’s skull and bones in the womb are
soft. During labor, the baby’s head protrudes as it struggles to come out through the birth canal.
Adults gently press, hold, and caress the baby’s head, arms, legs, and nose while bathing. Thus
the organs will take proper shape, The baby is draped with a saree used by its mother and placed
in it, which not only gives the baby a feeling of warmth but also helps the head to develop a
natural rounded shape
