Red woolen thread

A method beyond competition.Some wear it on their wrists, being fascinated by Kabbalah. Some remember the traditions of their ancestors, because the Slavs also used red wool as a talisman. If a loving person ties it on your or your child's left wrist, the thread will absorb bad energy. And when it is filled with evil, it will break or fall off your hand unnoticed. If you choose this method, make sure that the thread is natural, that the baby is not allergic to it, and that the dye is of high quality. Cut the ends, otherwise the child may choke on them. And always check that the thread does not fly off, break, and, as a result, does not end up in the child's mouth.

Holy water

Probably the most harmless way to protect yourself andSOS help against the evil eye. True, if you use it only externally and be sure of the purity of this water. If the baby is capricious, wipe the forehead with a cotton swab soaked in holy water. Didn't help? Add a little water when bathing. But you still shouldn't drink unboiled water, even if it is holy. You may get rid of the evil eye, but you will reward the child with bear disease. By the way, the official church does not recognize the evil eye, nor damage, nor superstitions, so it does not recommend "treating" magic with holy water.

Toy with own hands

Our ancestors made special ones for their childrenamulet toys. They used parents' clothes for such dolls. They made them without a face and with great love. No sharp objects were used in the manufacturing process, that is, no needles or scissors. The baby should never part with the amulet toy: sleep with it, walk with it, eat with it, and even bathe with it. Now the technique of making such dolls is sometimes taught in courses for pregnant women, so that mothers go to the maternity hospital fully armed. The evil eye can also be on a doctor or a nurse. For safety, always keep the amulet toy clean, because dust, dried milk stains can "reward" your baby with problems with the stomach, lungs, and even delicate skin.Photo: Getty Images

Mother's doll, daddy's truck

If your parents have carefully preservedyour toys in the mezzanine, consider yourself lucky. They have preserved not just a memory, but a powerful amulet against the evil eye and damage for grandchildren. Fortune tellers explain that this toy contains the energy of the family, which strengthens the connection of the baby with the ancestors and neutralizes all the negativity coming from the outside. The older such a toy, the more powerful the protection. Of the minuses - only the purity of the object and the safety of the material. Some plastics do not pass the test of time and begin to emit not negativity, but harmful substances.

Stones

Beautiful beads, a cute bracelet or pinwith natural stones will drive away evil spirits and bad messages from envious people from your baby. Among the strongest "defenders" are agate, cat's eye, tiger's eye and moonstone. For reliability, you can collect all the stones at once in a single composition, one of them will work. But beware of leaving your child alone with stone beads, because the baby may not even suspect that this is a talisman, and will happily "dine" on an unusual object.

Pin

Bad energy can be driven away by a simplea pin attached somewhere on clothing. While this method is relatively safe for an adult, a baby with his or her irrepressible desire to spin, run and jump can easily get hurt.

Garlic mascot

You remember that vampires are fought with the help ofsilver bullets, aspen stakes and garlic necklaces. Many mothers carefully tie a crushed garlic clove in gauze and hang it around the neck of their babies. You probably won’t meet a real vampire on your way, the energetic one will run away from the aroma, but many doctors recommend such an unconventional way to fight infections during the epidemic season. For example, a visiting nurse recommended that I make an amulet of garlic for my daughter. I don’t know whether garlic or immunity played a role, but so far, our monthly visits to the clinic for check-ups have passed without runny noses and coughs. Garlic has its downsides. Some babies may develop an allergy to the strong aroma. In addition, the smell irritates the mucous membrane. If fresh garlic juice gets on the skin, there is a risk of getting a burn.

Curtains for a stroller

To catch the evil eye or envy of othersIt is easiest for mothers to do this on a walk. For this, fortune tellers recommend hiding your baby in a stroller behind curtains. Hang a white tulle curtain on the hood - it will let air through, and for bad energy, entry into the stroller will be ordered. Make sure that the curtain still lets air through. And also so that it is not damp behind it, especially in frost.Photo: Getty Images

What to do in advance

— The sorceresses advise three months before birthbaby, limit your social circle. By this time, even the slimmest mother will have a visible tummy. Some may envy your interesting situation. - Renovate your apartment. According to popular belief, bad energy happily lives in old wallpaper. - A few weeks before the baby is born, invite a priest to your home to bless the apartment. If this is not possible, sprinkle the home with holy water and walk around the apartment with a church candle. - If possible, do not take used things for the baby. Try to plan your budget so that the diapers, blanket, crib and bathtub are new. - Buy linen bed linen for the baby, it has protective properties. - Hang a bunch or branch of rowan berries at the head of the crib, they drive away bad energy. - Limit the baby from communicating with your many friends. If they don't jinx it, they could very well infect the baby with the flu. - Wash the floor at home more often, water cleans not only the room, but also the energy in it.

Bad advice

Sometimes mothers want to protect their baby fromThe evil eye and damage reach absurd methods. Thematic forums are literally teeming with strange advice. For example, do not look at your sleeping child and do not let anyone else do it. Wash with soap after every fleeting glance of a stranger (skin problems are practically guaranteed for such children). "Before going to bed, lick the baby's face four times, as if you were crossing yourself, and wipe it with the back of your hem" - this advice is published with the caption "tested!!!". And the suggestion to wipe the baby's face with the inside of the mother's underwear is absolutely unacceptable. We all know perfectly well from what place the baby comes out, but this is not a reason to constantly remind the child of this. And the issue of hygiene for every mother should be in the first place.

Important!

Moms, remember, if your baby unexpectedlycries for a long time, it does not mean that he has been jinxed. He may be teething, have a tummy ache, headache, have a fever or just be in a bad mood. So crying is not a reason to reach for a red thread and holy water, but a reason to see a doctor.
