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?

The little mechanic's supermom!

We didn't use bigkis for the 2 babies anymore. It was explained to us by the doctor and nurse that there's no need to use it. The wound doesn't need to be covered so it can heal easily.
