What every parent needs to know

Holy objects near a newborn is a custom that should be practiced even in a hospital despite non Jewish environment, it benefits Mother, Baby and Doctor. https://videos.jem.tv/video-player?clip=3911 According to Jewish custom, the Shir Hama’alot psalm is posted beside a newborn baby’s crib. This was commonplace when Jewish women gave birth in the atmosphere of their own homes. Nowadays, when most children are born in hospitals, it is vital to encourage Jewish mothers everywhere to have this Psalm in the delivery room and to post it in the room where the baby stays afterwards. This will help ease the birth process, strengthen the baby, and prepare the baby for a life of holiness. When this custom is explained, even a non-Jewish doctor will medically advise it. The mother’s peace of mind directly affects her own health and that of the baby. It will thus be important to the physician and to her husband, as well.
