Namkaran Muhurat 2024: Precautions For The Naming Ceremony Day

• On the day of the naming ceremony, both the mother and the child should take some precautions so that they do not face any problems and the ceremony is completed smoothly.

• Take the right amount of sleep beforehand as both the child and the mother have to sit at the place of havan and puja for long hours. Thus, it is important to meet the sleep quota to avoid any fatigue and yawn in the program.

• Wear comfortable attire according to the weather for the ceremony. This is suggested to both the child and the mother so that they do not face any kind of difficulty. Both can sit comfortably and enjoy the program.

• Take care of the baby's milk. During this period the child is small and may feel hungry again and again. If he does not get food at the right time, he will become irritable and start crying. Take special care that the child's stomach is not empty and does not participate in the ritual.
