Hi Pinoy moms! What's your take on 'bigkis'? My sister just gave birth recently and uses bigkis on her little one. I didn't use it on my baby and preferred following the umbilical cord care my OB provided. It's quite difficult to insist that when you're surrounded by oldies who prefer this traditional method. I guess that's another reason why my sister just gave in to what they told her. How would you tell them that bigkis isn't really necessary?

Actually my OB also says that there's no need for a bigkis, but when my baby has been experiencing bloating, my mother-in-law insisted that I put bigkis. Actually I can't tell if it worked, but no harm done when I placed one. So it's up to you. :)

Glad your LO is comfortable with it. Some babies are quite irritable with the bigkis
