Feeding my baby

I breastfeed my baby Facienne and she loves it.
I am glad I don't have to run with bottles and stuff
to feed her. In her young live Facienne went to a few
"Big" places already.She was only a week old and we took
her to a buffet,at the famous Little Dix hotel here in
the BVI.Of course she slept through the whole event,
but I took her with me because my parents were here
at Virgin Gorda and they insisted I came along.

Baby Jewelry

The most important jewelry for a Surinamese baby is the "ograi krara"
Ograi means: bad eye,so the ograi krara is a to prevent a baby to be
avected by a "bad eye".A baby can get a bad eye when someone stares at
a baby with jeaulousy like :'why isn't my child like this",or
"Why couldn't my be as beautiful as this one? "or something like that.

According to our tradition the "ograi krara" protects against these
jealous eyes that could make your baby sick.This is my babies ograi
krara,she will wear it when we go out.A gold pin with consists of
three little black beads.There are many variations to the gold pin.
One bigger black bead on a gold pin is more common.
