Babies of the world

Different people - different cutures!

In the Inuit, babies are unfamiliar to diapers, instead

their Mothers use Moss to keep them fresh and clean!

These twins from the Mongollai don't know the soft comfortable feel

of a diaper on their bottoms, instead, their Mom will use dried

cowdung, how exactly, is still unknown to me, perhaps she will

rub it on their bottoms ? ? ? In China, diapers are unheard of, instead the baby wears trousers with

a slit in the center. Wow what about the jolly mess afterwards?

In Afghanistan, the baby's eyebrows and eyelids are painted

with kajal, their little bodies are also covered from top to

toe in a white powder to protect them from sweat and rash.

This little button on the picture is looking forward to his

milky supper, but the people from Himba in Kaokveld

will first bathe their newborn in the stomach of a killed

bovine animal.

Don't you agree - this must be the best babysitter you've ever seen?

The picture shows the baby strapped to a Yak.

One can only hope that nothing will frighten the animal and

cause a sudden stampede! ! ! !

It's very interesting to read about the different cultures of

our world, afterwards we'll say "Wow, they must be crazy to do those things"

But let's face it, if we were forced to live in "a different world" we'd do exactly

the same - and think nothing of it, simply because we don't know any

other way, but un-

thinkable in our modern lives.
