Old Wives Tales

The collection of old wives tales below are based on my personal experience that I have tested over the years. However, I do not guarantee that they will or will not work for everybody.

Baby thigh myth

The crease(s) on your baby’s thighs will determine the sex of your next baby Reason

I honestly do not know the reason

True or False?

Answer: True

A single crease on both thighs means that your next baby will be a boy

Two creases on both thighs means that your next baby will be a girl.

Unfortunately, right now, none of the babies at my centre have double creases. I will post a photo once I have it so be patient

A single crease on one thigh and a double crease on the other means that you cannot predict the sex of the next baby although some people says to go by the crease on the right thigh

3 months later, this baby’s creases have changed to a single one on both thighs therefore it means that the next baby will be a boy.

During all my years of working with babies I have found this to be very accurate especially if it is clearly a single or double crease. The prediction with combined creases is a fifty-fifty chance.

This is news to me. As i covered by princess legs with long pants until she was one, I have no idea. Also the fact that she is a tiny & skinny baby, I would be happy if she had enough fats to create a small wave! Good info.. will check my soon-to-be born nephew in Nov.
