Pin Clamp
umbilical cord customs in Venezuela?
Today in the hospital , I took care of a woman from VEnezuela who’s baby was just born yesterday.WHen I was explaining umbilical cord care to the mom (I do speak SPanish) I told her how the yellow pin clamping the umbilical cord would be removed before baby went home. She told me it is tradition to save the umbilical cord and the pin with it. She was very insistent that the pin be there also. Can anyone explain this tradition or know if they do it in other Latin American countries as well? Why does she want the pin on there, too?
Gracias!
Well it might sound kind of silly, when I was born my grandma saved it and took it to Guatemala, where we are from and buried it there, supposedly that will make you go back, because there is where your umbilical cord is. You know, grandma stuff.
