How many days will it take for the baby to have "twelve noon" after leaving the hospital?

The origin of "12 noon" is said to have a lot to do with poor medical and health conditions and high neonatal mortality in the old society. At that time, the baby died early, mostly because of the "seven-day wind"; Generally speaking, if you live to 12 days, even if you survive the crisis and save your life, you will live better in the future, so this is worth celebrating. The present medical and health conditions have been greatly improved, and the neonatal mortality rate has also been greatly reduced, but the custom of "twelve days" continues.

In some places, the custom of "twelve noon" is called "round ears", such as Tianjin. On this day, the mother wants to wear pants for the baby for the first time. There is a saying that "pants are worn at twelve o'clock, and the hipbone axis is long"; I also want to shave my baby's head, the so-called "twelve o'clock shaving". That is, shave the baby's fetal hair on 12 days after birth. Because people think that if a child is born after 12 days, even if it is preserved, it will be better raised in the future. Most people who shave the baby's fetal head are skilled and experienced masters. Because you always shave with a razor, a little carelessness will scratch your baby's scalp. Shaved fetal hair must not fall to the ground, but must be caught with a rattan tray brought by the barber. Finally, the hair of the fetus is wrapped in red cloth or red paper and sewn in the baby pillow to wish the child a long life.

In Zibo and other places, grandma will pack 99 pairs of jiaozi and cook 12 lunches for the baby, hoping that the child will live a long life. In Fujian, "12 noon" is also called "appeasement" (the first time in life), which means to let gods, ancestors, relatives and friends know the arrival and existence of this life, pray for blessings and grow healthily and vigorously.

"Twelve noon", as the name implies, should be celebrated on the twelfth day after the birth of a child, but it is not necessarily so. In case of death or other circumstances, it can be postponed for several days. Generally speaking, girls are born 12 days, while boys are born 1 1 day.
