Everyone puts kajal to kids, for nazar and all. Some also say it's good for eyes. I don't believe it. Should I really believe in using kajal or is it just a myth?

There is no scientific evidence on benefits of applying kajal. Instead most of the times it is unhygienic and may cause infection in eyes.

My mom said it's very good to give honey to the infant just after the birth. Is it really true?

Not at all....pls do not give honey to the baby till it completes 1 yr. The baby might be at risk of botulism. U can also Google abt it or ask ur paediatrician.

My baby has a lot of hair. What can I do to remove it?

the body hair will reduce naturally as your baby grows older. if you really want to try a home remedy, you can make a paste of besan and milk and apply it on your baby's skin before bath, as a massage ubtan.
