Using Initials before Bb Is born

Just curious! Why do some mummies to be use initials only - e.g Baby J before the bb is born? Is this some kind of myth not to share the baby’s name before bb is born?

It’s actually a pantang thing. Most of them, including me, wants the baby’s name to be a surprise. I only told closed ones her name, before her birth. And I post her photo on social media only after my confinement period ends. This is a pantang thing.

Yeah. For Malays, mostly is to avoid evil eye from people. Anyway, if you follow Malay confinement period of the 44days, then you get to be selfish and spend more time with your little one first! And be like a SURPRISE to everyone once confinement ends and show everyone your beautiful/handsome baby. Like building up the excitement for everyone hahahaha! 💕
