GUEST,kathy	Folklore: Silver coin for the baby (60* d)	RE: Folklore: Silver coin for the baby	30 Jul 12
I've never really heard of this.... silver n babies, however im sure it is just a tradition your culture has just like many other cultures do. Most hispanic believe in the bad eye... basically if a person with strong will has the desire to carry the baby and that desire is not granted then the child will become sick... that is why most hispanic babys wear tiny red beads in jewelry or sea shells... the beads break off the jewelry when the child is expose to the "bad eye". I (as an american hispanic) dont belive in this, however it wont stop me from buying the red beads.
