Old wives tale?

My grandma doesn't allow me to take photo of my baby when she is sleeping. Reason was because 1. The soul leaves the body when baby is sleeping. 2. Baby will be 'mentally' slow in the future. I don't believe in such things. But I don't want to go against her. So I just kept quiet. Just curious... Anyone believe such things?

I don’t really believe as you see a lot of baby photos online and almost all of those tiny babies are sleeping in the photos but does that mean all of them have no souls or grow slow? However, not telling you to argue with your elders but just avoid taking photos when they’re around.
