How will you explain to your mother in law that you're not a believer of the saying "babies should not take a bath on Tuesdays and Fridays"? I told her politely that babies needs to take a bath everyday,but she insist that its bad luck. She even got mad at me.

My auntie also believe on this superstition not only on Tuesday and Thursday but to those days falling on a date with '7'. When I ask her the reason why, she just said she get sick whenever she do take a bath. I want to tell her 'Maybe you get sick because you believe you will when you take a bath. Mind over matter.' Ask her the reason why is it bad luck. Then tell her if she can't provide you with a reason that has no scientific/medical basis, then you will continue to bath your baby everyday! It's hygienic to take a bath, plus the weather these days. Haha.
