Quote:but I understand when a baby is born it is custom (sunnah?) to rub a softened date on his/her palate... the medical benefits of this have been confirmed,
Thats sunnah Sister you are quite right, the dates should actually be chewed for the new born, and that should be placed in the mouth of the baby. I have actually learned about this just a year ago. I Will search for the hadeeth and put it here.
