I am a traditional in many aspects of life. But not when it comes to babies.
1. I wouldn't give honey to babies(before 1) as it can cause botulism
2. I wouldn't give sugar water to infants bcoz it interrupts with breastfeeding & hence on the milk production.

Plus WHO advises not to give sugar & salt to babies before 1.
3. I am against introducing solids before baby is ready(which happens at around 6 months)
4. I am against those colic drops like gripe water
2/4
5. I can't see people massaging babies harshly & bathing with super hot water. Babies sleep for hours after that due to exhaustion. Instead gentle massage & bathing in right temperature makes a baby relaxed.

6. If I come to know there is a research out there that some practice is bad I wouldn't hesitate to follow that research. Bcoz it is baby who is important.
