Simple rules you should know by now

. Don't use cotton buds to clean your ear
. Take folic acid while you're pregnant especially in the early stages
. Check your breasts after your period
. Don't shake a baby
. Don't kiss a baby
. Don't wash the inside of your vagina

What else?

Your ear cleans itself. Everytime you chew or talk, it pushes the wax outside.

Using buds pushes the wax further into the ear and may cause impaction which becomes difficult to remove and can even cause a reduction in hearing. I've seen it happen many times.

Let the wax be

Folic acid is important for brain development in the newborn. Taking it in the early stages of pregnancy helps.

Not taking it can lead to complications in the nervous system of the baby.

Checking your breasts after your periods make them easier to examine if you're looking for lumps.

During or before periods, they might become swollen, sensitive and dense which does not help when examining them.

Shaking a baby is considered child abuse in many places. Shaking a baby can lead to the brain hitting the insides of the skull.

Can lead to damages and in very severe cases, death. Some shake babies out of frustration. Let the babies be. Don't shake them

Don't kiss a baby... Do I need to explain this? You have NO BUSINESS kissing a baby. Their immune system is not yet fully developed and there is a recent case of a baby having a brain infection because someone with herpes kissed him.

Avoid this totally!
