Pepole in Digamadulla believe that new born babies cries frequently, because they did not offer alms for Kiri amma.
It is also a very big alms giving event for 7 milk mothers. Seven sweets must make for each type ex. Keum, kokis etc.
And need to wash the house and need to spray chanted water.
One baby cried frequently and treated from a Western doctor in Ampara but the illness was not ove. Then they prayed and fixed a date to alms, just after the day the child stopped crying.
Believe or not it is up to you. Hope that you will also share the ideas on the topic.

Our traditions and culture is big. Can’t compare it with the modern science.
We can’t argue that the kiri amma danaya is useles or useful.
