  • Around weeks 13 and 26, it is a tradition to add the use of gold needles on a point referred to as “the happy baby point” (Kidney 9). This tradition is thought to bless the baby with beauty, a calm and joyous demeanor, good sleep, a strong healthy immune system, body, and mind. It is also thought to be a way to prevent negative patterns or ancestral burdens from being passed on to the baby(s).
