Is this true?

Question

I was putting braids in my hair and my mother in law told me  not to reach above my head because the baby's umbilical cord can strangle the baby. Sounds like bullshit to me

Answer

Old wives tale. It's complete bs.

Answer

Oh man, the things our mothers and mother in laws tell us.  You're safe, don't worry!

Answer

Lol, like others said, it's an Old Wives Tale. That's like saying, wearing red makes you stub your toe just because I had a red shirt on yesterday and stubbed my toe. People draw conclusions to things that aren't real lol.

Answer

Same thing was said to me I did this a lot and well I have a very healthy rambunctious 8 month old

Answer

Not true at all

Answer

My MIL says this too. Cords wrapped around the neck are very common and rarely a problem (the cord IS the source of oxygen, not cutting it of). Of course tragic things do happen but it is not your fault.
