* Don't take the baby out of the house before 40 days old! ( I got yelled at a lot for this one - by complete strangers walking up to me and telling me to get home!)
* The mom doesn't leave the bed or do anything for at least a few weeks
* If the baby has hiccups - rip off a small piece of newspaper, get it wet, and stick it to the baby's forehead - this will get rid of hiccups
* Madelyn is pretty much bald - for that I've been told to take ash from a fire and make a paste with water - put it on her head and leave it there for a day - wash it off and then her hair will start to grow
* Put breast milk in a baby's eyes at ASAP after birth and their eye color won't change
* The evil eye - is something that is taken very seriously - someone can give your baby the 'evil eye' and it will make the baby sick or unhealthy and that baby will have problems in life. To avoid this you must put a red beaded bracelet on their wrist and that will help against the evil eye.
That's all I can think of for now but there are so many! I'll keep you posted as I learn more.
