Hay, mamsh, that's actually a health and safety question na mas mainam talaga tanungin directly ang doctor mo or ang midwife, lalo na kung may newborn ka nang involved, kailangan ng expert advice para sure. A few of my mum friends have asked similar things about traditional practices, pero honestly, safer talaga mag-check muna with the pediatrician or OB mo bago subukan ang kahit ano, especially pagdating sa bagong sanggol. Ang babies ay delicate pa kasi, at gusto natin sigurado na lahat ay safe at healthy para sa little one mo!
