We had the chance to go to our 1st Acehnese ceremony since we moved here 3 weeks ago. This was a blessing ceremony for these 2 new parents. Moms & babies here usually don’t go out of the house ‘til about the 40 day point after their birth. This was a New Year’s baby, so they waited ‘til the 30 day point to celebrate her ceremony. After this ceremony, the mother & baby freely go about town.
Below E’s holding the newborn coated in baby powder…we’re not sure if she coated ‘cuz it’s hot so to soak up sweat or to make her skin look whiter – both are pretty normal reasons here!
