Newborn baby



Isn't he cute? This is a teacher at my school's new baby. He is three days old in this picture.

Notice the pile of money to the left of his head. When people come to see the baby, they give some money and wish the baby good health and happiness.

Usually, the men will also have a drinking party with the father while the mother rests and female relatives take care of everything. The mother does not get to rest at the hospital and has to come back with the baby on the same day as the birth. So, she relies on relatives to take care of her.
